Professional career

Scott's first game in the CFL was a pre-season game against the Montreal Alouettes on June 12, 2008, where he had two receptions for 20 yards for the Argonauts. Assistant General Manager Greg Mohns was impressed with his dedication, size, and movement. "He studied the playbook and he has not made a lot of mental mistakes," Mohns said following the first game. "He has a chance to make the final roster." [1]

On May 27, 2010, Scott was released by the Toronto Argonauts. Scott was picked up by the Edmonton Eskimos on July 27, 2010, signing a two-year deal. [2]

On June 8, 2012, during training camp, Scott collided with defensive back Rico Murray and was hospitalized. [3] Scott was placed on the 9-game injured list.
