Former Eagles running back Boston Scott announced his retirement from the NFL on social media on Wednesday.

"I'm thankful for everything the game has given me and my family," Scott said in his statement. "I'm thankful for the coaches, teammates, and staff throughout my career that believed in me even when it wasn't popular. Looking back at my career I'm just in awe of what God was able to accomplish, from a Walk-on who almost had to drop out of college to many years at the highest level, a lot of it doesn't make sense and I believe that's the point."

A sixth-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2018 out of Louisiana Tech, the Eagles signed Scott off the Saints' practice squad in December of 2018, beginning his run with the team.

In six seasons, the 5-foot-6 Scott ran for 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns, adding 71 grabs for 566 yards and a score. He was a reliable running back who always delivered when called upon and contributed to a great deal of success during his time in Philadelphia.

Scott was known for his dominant performances against the Giants. In 10 games against the NFC East rival, he had 644 scrimmage yards and 10 total touchdowns. In the season finale of the 2019 season, Scott's three touchdowns against the Giants earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors and helped the Eagles win the division. He caught the game-winning touchdown in Week 7 against the Giants in 2020.

Following his 2023 season with the Eagles, Scott had stints with the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers but never appeared in a game.

In addition to playing football, Scott signed a contract with an ESports organization, Dignitas, as a content creator and substitute for its Rocket League team.
