Scott's Career

Scott as a member of the New York Jets (2009 - 2012)

Scott played 11 seasons in the NFL, the first seven with the Ravens, and the final four with the Jets. He made the All-Pro second team and his lone Pro Bowl in the 2006 season came with the Ravens.

Most of the controversy surrounding the event can be attributed to the fact that many people believe the Bucs QB is the greatest quarterback in NFL history. No other quarterback has come close to winning as many Super Bowl rings.
