Scott played in nine games, with one start, for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 after earning a spot on the team as a rookie free agent from Grambling State.

Scott started nine games at left tackle for the Chargers in 2019, filling in for veteran Russell Okung.

Scott joined the Carolina Panthers as a waiver claim after Los Angeles released him at the end of training camp in September 2020.

Scott played in 14 games in his first season with Carolina, with four starts.

Scott played in 14 games with five starts at right guard for the Panthers in 2021.
