Scarlett, 26, was selected in the fifth round out of Florida by the Panthers in 2019. He was entering the second year of a four-year, $2.8M contract when the Panthers waived him this past August.

He had a brief stint on the Lions practice squad before being released again. 

In 2019, Scarlett appeared in nine games for the Panthers and rushed for nine yards on four carries (2.3 YPC) and no touchdowns.
