The catch? Scott ran a post pattern from the slot, sprinted nearly 40 yards to the middle of the field and snatched Drew Lock’s pass at its highest point, twisting his body 180 degrees to make the two-handed catch with a defender on his back.
Or was it the landing? As he secured the ball, the 6-2 rookie softly hit the ground and never stopped moving forward, like a power forward snaring a rebound and leading the break down the court.
The Tigers came into the season needing to replace their tall, long dude at receiver — first-team All-SEC wideout J’Mon Moore went to the Green Bay Packers as a fourth-round pick — but a heavy investment at the position and the staff’s re-emphasis on the state of Texas helped replenish the position, starting with Scott, from Manvel, Texas, a small town south of Houston.
