Jake Scott, the rebellious defensive star of the Miami Dolphins’ Super Bowl teams in the 1970s, died after a fall in in his Atlanta home. He was 75.
Scott was the Most Valuable Player of the 1972 season’s Super Bowl after his two interceptions helped defeat Washington and secure the Dolphins’ undefeated season.
“To lose a teammate and a friend and a partner for all those years, no word can express how I feel,’' said Dick Anderson, who played safety opposite Scott during those great Dolphins teams.
Scott came to the Dolphins in a move that told of the full package the Dolphins were getting.
