Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 6th round with the #36 pick.
The Bengals will be ridiculed for the selection of RB Bernard Scott. Scott was tremendously productive at Abilene Christian and has a nice burst but also has serious character concerns. Could be a good compliment to Cedric Benson but will do little to improve the Bengals reputation for ignoring character.

Strengths

Has playmaking ability. Has the burst to get around the corner. Can catch passes out of the backfield. One of the few running backs in this draft with some semblance of breakaway ability. Elusive. Dominated on the small school level.

Weaknesses

Overaged and has numerous character issues in his past. Lacks the size you look for in an every down back. Played against a low level of competition.
