​Over the last few months, we’ve been breaking down all undrafted free agents signed by the Jets. We continue today with former Wyoming running back Sam Scott.The 23-year old Scott is listed at 6’1” and 213 pounds and rushed for over 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns with 34 receptions over the last three years of his college career after having initially been a linebacker.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBackgroundScott was a three-star linebacker prospect as a high schooler and headed to Wyoming, where he began his career as a backup linebacker and special teamer. However, at the end of the year, they were low on bodies at the running back position, so he played there in the team’s bowl game, rushing for 11 yards on three carries.They opted to continue the experiment and left him at running back for the next season and he rushed for 237 yards and two scores and caught 11 passes for 77 yards in his first full season in a rotational running back role.In 2024, Scott only started three games but his 435 yards were enough to lead the team.

He also ran under 4.5 in the 40-yard dash.UsageScott is a conventional back who has almost exclusively produced when lined up in the backfield.As noted, he practiced primarily as a linebacker in his first season, although he didn’t see action in that role with Wyoming. He had played both as a linebacker and running back in high school.Running abilityScott perhaps isn’t considered to have breakaway speed, as his longest run in college was only 43 yards. However, he did have 18 runs of 15 yards or more in his college career and displays good burst and acceleration.He hits the hole hard and will fall forwards at the end of a run.
