His foot-speed and rush-lane processing help him close on quarterbacks and ballcarriers in the blink of an eye. He brings juice every time he steps onto the field and gets his teammates fired up with every tackle. His playmaking outshines his size and makes him an impactful defender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The former <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/Player\/Keionte-Scott-46116368\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">4-star JUCO recruit<\/a> and Auburn transfer made his presence felt at his final collegiate stop by piling up 13 tackles for loss to go with 64 total tackles (42 solo), five sacks, two interceptions, five passes defensed, and two fumbles forced and recovered. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">He&#8217;s an electric presence at the nickel and provides an energy that can&#8217;t be coached. His havoc-creating nature is one NFL teams will prioritize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Dan has covered the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL Draft since 2019 while contributing for RGR Football.
