Overview
- The Buccaneers selected Keionte Scott with the 116th pick Saturday in Round 4 of the NFL Draft.
- Scott played the nickel at Miami and is expected to compete for that slot in Tampa Bay after a year of uneven cornerback play.
- The pick reunites Scott with edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr., who went to Tampa Bay at No. 15 earlier in the draft.
- Draft analysts framed the choice as strong value, with PFF ranking Scott 55th overall and Dane Brugler grading him as a Day 2 talent.
- Scott’s 2025 breakout featured 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, five sacks, five pass breakups, and two interceptions including a CFP quarterfinal pick-six.
