The Indianapolis Colts rookie class from the 2023 season had plenty of ups and downs throughout what was an encouraging campaign from the organization as a whole.
With their first season now behind them, it’s time to take a quick look back at how they performed and where they may be headed in the future. In our rookie review series, we’ll be taking a look at each 2023 draft pick currently still with the team.
Here are the rookie seasons we’ve reviewed thus far:
Now, it’s time to review the rookie season for safety Daniel Scott, who was selected with the No. 158 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
Reviewing Scott’s rookie season
Unfortunately, there isn’t much to review for Scott. The California product tore his ACL during the final week of OTAs and missed his entire rookie season.
The Colts really liked what Scott could bring from a special teams and safety depth standpoint. He’s extremely athletic and should be a factor in the rotation as the final safety in the room while being among the leaders in snaps on special teams.
Considering the fact that Scott tore his ACL in the spring, he should be close to returning to full strength, assuming he didn’t suffer any setbacks during his rehab.
The safety position is one of need for the Colts this offseason, but it will be interesting to see how the team feels about Scott as a depth piece and special teamer going into 2024.
