Bucs rookie Keionte Scott seen as potential standout in camp
Summary

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' fourth-round draft pick Keionte Scott is acknowledged as an overlooked prospect by Bleacher Report. Scott, a cornerback, impressed during his collegiate career at Miami, recording 110 tackles, five sacks, and two interceptions in his final season. As the Buccaneers aim to bolster their pass defense, which ranked poorly last season, Scott's speed and versatility are highlighted as assets that could lead to him securing a significant role on the team. With Jacob Parrish expected to start at nickel corner, Scott may be positioned as a primary backup, enhancing his chances for early contributions in training camp.
