Jake Scott, the Super Bowl MVP of the Miami Dolphins’ undefeated finale has passed away.

Waking this morning, the news announcing the passing of legendary Miami Dolphins safety, Jake Scott, has been front and center, and tragic.

Scott, the original number 13, was one of the best safeties in Miami Dolphins’ history. In Super Bowl VII, Scott intercepted the Redskins Billy Kilmer twice and was an instrumental piece on the defense that kept the Redskins from scoring offensively.
