1975 Rookie Profile: James Scott

Wide Receiver

"Scott spent the 1974 season as a member of the WFL Chicago Fire. He was leading the league in receiving when he suffered ligament damage to his right knee in the ninth week. Scott sat out the rest of the year, but according to medical reports has made progress and should be healthy. Despite missing half the season he finished tied for eighth in WFL receiving with 52-for-755 a 14.5 average and eight touchdowns. Scott has 4.5 speed.
He 'has the potential to become another Paul Warfield' says his Fire coach, Jim Spavital.
