When the Ravens exhausted a fourth-round pick on wide receiver Jaleel Scott in the 2017 draft, reactions amongst fans and spectators were mixed. Some viewed him as an athletic freak with high upside, others saw a player who’d struggle to put things together at the next level.
Neither side was truly vindicated last year, as Scott was placed on injured reserve before the start of the regular season and missed his entire rookie campaign. Before that, however, Scott did little to impress throughout OTA’s, minicamp, and training camp. While he showed occasional flashes of big-play potential, he appeared overmatched more often than not.
