Eagles running back Boston Scott can now officially add his name next to the likes of Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders on the list of multi-sport professional athletes… though popular eSport Rocket League may have been your last guess for where he took his talents.
ESports organization Dignitas recently signed the NFL player to their Rocket League roster, and he is said to be participating in scrimmages with the team before the Winter Major (March 26-28).
Our Rocket League team just became more stacked. ?

Why was he picked up?
Could this be for publicity? Of course! He’ll also be creating content for the team. But don’t be fooled, he’s got the stats to back it up.
Scott boasts a spot in within the top 0.52 percent of all Rocket League players as a Grand Champ, and is said to play regularly – though is likely to soon find his rocket league schedule significantly more strenuous.
NFL Updates
The 26-year-old’s season ended with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card game; Scott enjoyed a season total of 373 yards and seven touchdowns.
I for one am looking forward to some great comms between Scrub Killa and Scott (B0ston), the second Dignitas duo we didn’t know we needed.
