Scott, better known as the “Giant Killer” in Philly, spent six years with the Eagles, and unfortunately had a career in between the Super Bowl wins. The RB went on to spend time with the Rams and then the Steelers ahead of the 2024 season, but spent the year on Pittsburgh’s IR list. He didn’t play in 2025, and a week after free agency started for the 2026 rosters, Scott made a business decision to hang up his cleats.

He will retire a legend in Philadelphia, and even though he never got a ring, he’ll be welcomed back with open arms. Scott always filled his role well and stepped up big in critical moments.

During his six seasons with the Eagles, Scott had 302 carries for 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns, and was regularly absolutely dominant in games against the Giants. His energy was infectious, and the RB was a fan favorite. As he admits in his farewell letter, Scott didn’t anticipate leaving the game this way, but he’s looking forward to what comes next in his journey

You'll always be the "Giant Killer". Enjoy retirement, Boston! https://t.co/Hxf6sDfuEM pic.twitter.com/wvQDU50UhU
