Buccaneers draft Miami safety Keionte Scott with 116th pick in 2026 NFL Draft

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Miami safety Keionte Scott with the No. 116 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Scott was the fourth-ranked safety in “The Beast.”Although overaged as a 25-year-old rookie, Scott brings a set of tools that defensive coordinators crave. He’s a versatile weapon who can play in various situations, whether it’s as a defender in pass coverage, as a tackler against the run or as a blitzer. Additionally, he played special teams all four years as an FBS player, which could allow him to make an immediate impact, regardless of how long it takes him to acclimate to the NFL.Advertisement
