The 71st overall pick, Washington’s original third round pick, went to Miami (FL) Cornerback Keionte Scott, who proved to be a playmaker in the ‘Canes secondary. Both of his defensive touchdowns on interceptions came during the playoff run, including the quarterfinals upset over Ohio State, while being named a second team All ACC selection as a sixth year senior. Scott upgrades the athleticism in the room after reportedly running a 4.3 in the 40 at Pro Day and 44 inches in the vertical jump. During the playoff run, Scott allowed ten yards per reception on catches on all but four of his 18 targets after coming off turf toe.
