Title: Bo Scarbrough
Post by: N.AL-Tider on October 28, 2019, 12:42:25 PM
Anybody know what happened to Bo?  He had what I thought was a very promising career playing for Bama.  He was big and strong and ran well.  Signed in the 7th round of the 2018 draft by the Cowboys but was later released.  Signed then by the Jacksonville Jaguars for their practice squad then released to be picked up by Seattle then released again before the season started this year.

What happened to him?

Just speculation on my part, but I think something happened to him between his sophomore and junior year. He looked great as a soph, but appeared to lose a step and some ability in his junior year.

I had a feeling he wouldn't make it in the NFL.

He was never the same after he broke his leg against Clemson. I don’t know if it was physical or mental, but he wasn’t the powerful, dynamic runner in 2017 that he was in 2016.

I just remember Jamos describing him as "soft"; not tough.  Maybe it caught up with him.

Less than 20% of the guys drafted in the 7th round make rosters for a full year, so it's not surprising.  Less than 5% become starters.

Well, he's back. (https://www.al.com/sports/2019/11/bo-scarbrough-returns-to-nfl.html) This time on the practice squad for Detroit.  Hope he can impress and get a position on the team...

He scored a touchdown on his third career carry. 14 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut.

Nearly 4 yards a carry and a TD, pretty good debut.
