New York Giants scouts are monitoring Week 9 of the college football season for potential draft targets, with Miami defensive tackle Justin Scott drawing attention after recovering a fumble against Pittsburgh.
The play occurred during the Hurricanes' matchup with the Panthers, showcasing Scott's awareness and hustle. Yahoo Sports analyst Chris Pflum detailed the Giants' draft outlook in a report published October 31, 2026.
Scott, a disruptive interior lineman, has been rising on draft boards due to his ability to penetrate the backfield and create turnovers. The Giants, who hold a high draft pick, are evaluating defensive line depth as a priority.
Other prospects from the weekend's games are also under consideration as New York builds its board for the 2027 NFL Draft.
