METAIRIE, La. -- It's easy to get overlooked when you're the shortest player in the 2018 NFL draft.
That's been the case for New Orleans Saints running back Boston Scott for much of his football-playing life.
The 5-foot-7, 203-pounder said he didn't make his middle school team in sixth grade because he was too short.
Then he didn't get recruited out of Zachary High School in Zachary, Louisiana -- only getting a feeler from Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas -- before Lousiana Tech offered him a shot as a walk-on.
And he wasn't invited to the NFL scouting combine this year before his home-state Saints drafted him in the sixth round.
