One of the only highlights of the 1973 Cleveland Browns team was 3rd year cornerback Clarence Scott, who the Browns had selected #14 overall in the 1971 draft. Scott started his rookie season, but he didn't start a single game his 2nd season, in his 3rd season he was given an opportunity to start again. Scott finished the season with 5 interceptions returned for a total of 71 yards and one touchdown. 1973 was also the one and only year that Scott made a Pro Bowl appearance.
Scott moved from cornerback, to strong safety in his 9th season. He stayed at strong safety for 3 years before taking over free safety for a single season, he eventually returned to strong safety for his 13th, and final season.
Scott finished his career with 39 interceptions returned 407 yards for 2 touchdowns in 186 games. He started 152 games throughout his 13 year career, all with the Cleveland Browns.
