Last year's starting five right to left of Sam Tevi, Michael Schoefield, Mike Pouncey, Dan Feeney and Russell Okung understandably receive the lion's share of pub. That's only natural when they're the ones battling in the trenches week in, week out.

Then there's Forrest Lamp, the team's talented 2017 second-round pick whose potential and future is discussed nonstop by fans and pundits alike.

However, there's an unheralded, up-and-coming member of the o-line who isn't getting the recognition he deserves.

We're talking about Trent Scott.

A 6-5, 320-pound tackle who singed as an undrafted free agent a year ago out of Grambling State, Scott impressed mightily to the point where he not only earned a spot on the 53-man roster, but emerged as a key reserve.

All he's done since then is continue to turn heads, earning some lofty praise from Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt toward the end of minicamp. In fact, Whiz discussed him at length in as much detail as anyone this offseason.

"He didn't say much (when he got here last year)," Whisenhunt said. "He just worked hard. I think when you have a young player where you put him in positions in game and they continually, consistently, don't mess up, that gets your attention. For young guys, a lot of times, it really is (a) tremendous amount of (reps in) OTA practices. We've had a few minicamp practices, but you put them in there (during an actual game) and you run some of the plays they haven't seen yet and they struggle because it's a different technique, they're going against different players. The ones that can get in there and be successful on those opportunities are the ones that stand out, that make it and that's what Trent did."

Whiz's approval of Scott didn't end there.
