New York Jets: LB Bart Scott

Absolutely. The linebacker was never afraid to run his mouth. Like his head coach Rex Ryan, Scott never wavered at the opportunity to torment the opposition. It stems back to his Baltimore days, notably when he stopped a pleasant conversation between Chad Ochocinco and Haloti Nagata. News flash, Ochocinco was asking Ngata where he was from. It wasn’t an inappropriate question, but Scott had to ruin a sentimental moment.

Now, as an analyst, Scott is still trying to cause an uproar, notably from the “red dot” incident that is, when you look closer at it, calling for a bounty. But who could forget the “Can’t-Wait” comment after the 2010 divisional game vs. the Patriots? Scott and the Jets wound up losing in the AFC Title Game against Pittsburgh. That’s what happened.

You can’t take anything away from Scott. He played for a long time, he was physical, and he played the antagonist role quite well. You need guys like that. However, it’s always good to humble them in the process, and Scott being humbled is something several players loved to see.
