Former Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough scores first TD of NFL career

It’s no secret that Bo Scarbrough’s NFL career got off to a rough start. After being picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Scarbrough was released and spent time on practice squads (Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars). He also spent some in Seattle, but was inactive and then released during the 2019 offseason.

Scarbrough is getting a new opportunity in November 2019 and making the most of it. The Detroit Lions signed Scarbrough on Nov. 6 and promoted him to the active roster this week. On his third career carry, Scarbrough scored his first touchdown.

How sweet it is for Scarbrough that the touchdown came against Dallas. The Lions lead the Cowboys 7-3 early.
