a versatile, high-IQ Duke playmaker with proven all-purpose value
Desmond Scott stands out for his rare versatility and production: after moving from running back to receiver, he posted 61 catches for 606 yards and 2 touchdowns in a banner season, while also becoming just the third ACC player to top 1,000 career yards in rushing, receiving, and kickoff returns.[3] Duke listed him as an every-down, natural pass catcher who consistently made plays in space and entered 2012 with a 26-game streak of at least one catch.[4] That kind of multidimensional skill set is valuable for teams that want a dependable, adaptable weapon rather than a one-dimensional stat compiler.[4][7]
