Broncos DB Miles Scott reunites with 'tough, smart, dependable' Illinois teammates
Miles Scott will reunite with former college teammates Pat Bryant and Alex Palczewski with the Broncos.
The Denver Broncos used a seventh-round pick to select Illinois safety Miles Scott in the 2026 NFL draft last month, reuniting the defensive back with former college teammate Pat Bryant . “It’ll be great," Scott said during a conference call after being picked by the Broncos . "Pat was a great teammate.
Me and Pat came in together at Illinois. We were both playing receiver. [In] 2021, we both came in.
Then I got to see him get drafted to Denver, and now he got to see me get drafted to Denver. So that’s kind of crazy. I was just with Pat while I was on the [Top] 30 visit.
So it’s crazy. ” Scott started his career as a wide receiver before transitioning to safety. He also played with Broncos backup swing tackle Alex Palczewski during his time at Illinois.
