Personal

Scott is an accomplished musician. He sings and plays the piano, drums and saxophone. He participated in the ABC Monday Night Football's musical competition called "Monday Night at the Mic" in 2003 paired with Grammy Award winning artist Michelle Branch. The duo lost to Doug Flutie and Barenaked Ladies in the finals after competing against a host of other NFL players and recording artists in a round-robin competition. Bryan also had a major role in the feature film White Men Can't Rap, where he played the drummer Tater in band Cocoa Bean Mogul.

Scott sang a song he wrote at the funeral service for Kevin Dare, the Penn State pole vaulter who died while competing at the Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships in February 2002.

He created the non-profit foundation, Pick Your Passion Foundation for the Arts, to encourage youth participation in music, visual and performing arts in underserved communities.

His cousin, Ryan Stewart, is a former defensive back with the Detroit Lions (1996–99) and current radio personality in Atlanta, Georgia.

He is the inspiration for the Twitter hashtag #allhedoesismakeplays, for his knack of making key plays during his playing time for the Buffalo Bills.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:

    Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    Life is not an easy matter.... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    The historian must have ... some conception of how men who are not historians behave. Otherwise he will move in a world of the dead. He can only gain that conception through personal experience, and he can only use his personal experiences when he is a genius.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
