Boston Scott Retires from Professional Football
Boston Scott announced he is retiring from the game after a career in professional football. He posted the message on X on Wednesday.
Scott did not appear in a regular-season game in either of the last two seasons. He will not pursue a return to the field this year.
NFL beginnings
Scott was a sixth-round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2018. He never played a regular-season game for New Orleans.
The Philadelphia Eagles signed him off the Saints’ practice squad late in the 2018 season. He then saw action in two regular-season games and two playoff games that year.
Six years in Philadelphia
Those appearances kicked off a six-year run with the Eagles. Scott served mainly as a backup running back and an occasional kick returner.
He finished his Eagles tenure with steady production as a reserve. The numbers reflect his role in the backfield and on special teams.
