Tyler Scott (born September 21, 1985, in Windsor, Ontario) is a wide receiver in the Canadian Football League who last played for the Edmonton Eskimos. He attended the University of Western Ontario as a geography major and intends to pursue teaching.[1] He was drafted in the 2008 CFL Draft by the Toronto Argonauts.

Professional career

Scott's first game in the CFL was the pre-season game against the Montreal Alouettes on June 12, 2008, where he had two receptions for 20 yards for the Argonauts. Assistant General Manager Greg Mohns was impressed with his dedication, size, and movement. "He studied the playbook and he has not made a lot of mental mistakes," Mohns said following the first game. "He has a chance to make the final roster."[1]

On May 27, 2010, Scott was released by the Toronto Argonauts. Scott was recently picked up by the Edmonton Eskimos on July 27, 2010, signing a two-year deal.[2]

On June 8, 2012, during training camp, Scott collided with defensive back Rico Murray and was hospitalized. [3] On June 9, 2012, Scott underwent surgery for a broken collarbone. [4] Scott has been placed on the 9-game injured list. [5]
