Watch: Tyler Scott Recaps Pro Day Experience, Gives Insight Into NFL Draft Preparation

Scott is projected to be one of the first Bearcats selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.

CINCINNATI — The 2023 UC Pro Day wrapped at the Cincinnati Bengals indoor facility on Thursday, and one of the stars was a wide receiver, Tyler Scott.

He ran an unofficial 4.32 second 40-yard dash to post his best time of the draft cycle as arguably the best prospect Cincinnati is entering in 2023.

Scott discussed the entire event and more with the media after he wrapped his workout.

Check out some of the top quotes and full comments on the video below.

On his preparation process over the next couple of weeks

After this, I am getting ready for the minicamp. There was a lot of preparation and training for the events and drills. So now it's time to get ready for football. Hopefully, you will hear my name being called here in the next month at the Draft and then immediately following that is the rookie minicamp. Until then I will be training to stay in good football shape and being prepared to compete.

On his process leading up to this pro day

It has been very hectic lately with getting calls and emails all the time. We have also had a ton of meetings. At the end of the day, I will take it all with gratitude because growing up I watched all of the athletes that I looked up to go through this process and I wanted to be a part of it. To finally be on this stage is awesome. I am so grateful for these opportunities.

On Cincinnati preparing him for the NFL

We had a lot of great guys and especially in our 2021 season, we had a Jim Thorpe Award winner in Coby Bryant on one side and the AAC Defensive Player of the Year in Sauce Gardner on the other side. We also had Bryan Cook, who was a second-round pick, so there were so many great players in the secondary to compete with. They have all helped me with my game. There were times where I would go against Coby Bryant last year and he already knew what I could do, so I had to learn how to get open and when I got into games, I was prepared for a lot. We had Alec Pierce, Jerome Ford, Desmond Ridder, and Josh Whyle who showed us how to be professional in the locker room. One thing that Coach [Luke] Fickell always said to us was ‘We are training to be pros, not training as pros.’. So having that mentality through my college career helped me to get to this spot.
