It’s difficult to imagine what Indianapolis Colts safety Daniel Scott’s goals were entering his third year in the NFL. After two consecutive seasons in which injury ended his year before Summer had officially begun, one might figure the former University of California star was thinking in terms of baby steps.
Scott suffered an ACL tear during OTAs in his rookie season, then tore an Achilles tendon at just about the same time last year. Both injuries cost him an entire season. He entered his third season as a 26-year-old who had not yet made it to training camp, something of an unlucky afterthought on a team that was eager for a rebirth.
