“Like somebody would do something or say something that I don’t like, and I’ll be like, all right, we going to see,” Scourton promises. “When I get on that field, like we’re going to walkthroughs with shirts on right now, and I don’t want anybody to get anything out, but I kind of feel bad about it sometimes because I’ll be an a–hole in the field, and then I get up, and I say hi to someone.”
“It’s like an everyday thing. I still feel strong passion and hate. I still feel this passion and hate like, man, all those people that made fun of me, all those people that said I couldn’t do this, and now I’m here, now that I’m here, I’m going to maximize (it).”
Even getting here took a turn as Scourton slipped to the second round of the draft. General manager Dan Morgan saw the passion he was looking for with Scourton, though, and traded up in the second round to make sure he got the pass rusher.
“Obviously, I slipped in the draft, and it kind of just added some more fuel. I’ve been upset still, like even once I’ve been here,” Scourton admits before referring back to the Blueprint scene when scouts and coaches discussed his player profile.
“Just knowing they feel that way about me gives me more motivation to go out there and get better and prove those guys’ investment in me. The Panthers were the team that took a chance on me, so that doesn’t matter anymore as long as Dan Morgan thinks that I’m a good player for this team. I’m good with that.”
