The Giant Slayer posted an old video of Darren Sproles on his Instagram this morning, where many NFL Draft scouts deemed Sproles too small and not built for the league. Sproles even said owners and scouts were laughing at him while he was out on the field.

Darren Sproles was a huge inspiration to Scott, as the two played together in the 2019 season. Sproles is a 3x All-Star, a Super Bowl Champion, and a 2010s Hall of Famer, racking up over 1,331 yards with the Eagles in six seasons, the most years he spent with any team (Saints, Chargers).
Boston Scott, along with the rest of the Eagles organization, will now get a week off to prepare for one of these four teams in the NFL Divisional Round. The bracket and matchups are now officially set. Take a look here.
