Just OK as a tight end at Buffalo, Scott moved to defense and had 19 sacks in two seasons helping a moribund program get five wins in 2007. Wowed scouts during a pro day workout with his 4.54 40-yard dash. His tapes showed a good motor and a zest for getting to the quarterback. He is coming to a team with just one proven pass rusher in Derrick Burgess. Trevor Scott of Potsdam was taken by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, an overall 169th pick. At 6′5, 258 lbs., Trevor said a woman called from the Oakland Raiders and said congratulations, welcome to the Oakland Raiders. “I said are you kidding me? It’s an indescribable feeling,” he said. He became the first University at Buffalo player selected in the NFL draft since 2000. Two years ago, Scott was a tight end with nine career receptions when he was converted to defensive end because then first-year coach Turner Gill had little depth at the position. Nineteen sacks later, Scott is a member of the Raiders, the first team Scott visited during the offseason. “I wasn’t expecting anything,” Scott said. “That way if I didn’t get drafted I wouldn’t feel down. I didn’t get my hopes up, but at the same time I wanted to be drafted and I stayed cool about the whole thing. I wasn’t even watching the draft.” Instead, Scott’s parents and brothers watched the draft unfold while he watched movies and took long drives near his home in Potsdam. “I watched Gladiators and 300,” he said. “You know, guy movies.” Scott was sitting in an easy chair when a Raiders secretary called and informed him he had been selected. “She called and told me they were going to take me in the draft as a Raider and I started freaking out,” he said. Then Scott spoke with defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and defensive line coach Keith Millard. “We told you we liked you,” they told Scott, “did you think we were playing?”
