Josiah Scott was a fourth-round pick (137th overall) of the Jags in 2020. He appeared in just 6 games (no starts) as a rookie, making 11 tackles. According to pro-football-reference.com, he was targeted 7 times, giving up 6 completions for 77 yards and a 112.5 opposing passer rating. They have him down for zero missed tackles.
