Position: Center
College: Penn State
Hometown: Ashtabula, OH
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 301 lb
The Texans traded with the Eagles to select Scruggs out of Penn State, moving up from the 65th pick to the 62nd pick. The 188th and 230th pick were also included in the trade to get Scruggs.
John Harris liked Scruggs in his draft guide
"Scruggs is laterally quick. His ability to slide protection right or left is tremendous," he writes.
Harris continues: "He hits on the rise and drives to, and through, defensive linemen in the run game. As a result, he'll brawl a bit inside but his technique is solid, on most occasions. He squares up well on down blocks and doesn't let DL get upfield - he stays solid on those blocks."
Scruggs started 25 games at Penn State.
