He became the second Australian to play in the NFL after Colin Ridgeway, an Australian rules football convert.[1] Growing up in Palm Beach, Sydney, Scotts first played rugby union for The Scots College and was a member of the 1981 Australian Schoolboys Rugby team.[2] He later moved to Hawaii, on a full football scholarship after being spotted by an assistant coach during a rugby game. After being drafted in the third round of the 1987 NFL Draft,[3][4] he forged a career in the NFL where he played as a defensive tackle in seven games during the 1987 season for the St. Louis Cardinals.[5] Season 1988 saw Colin move to the Houston Oiler's on what was then a record contract amount for a Defensive Tackler. During seasons 1988 & 1989 Colin played 28 games with the Oiler's before injury cut short his sensational career. In 1993 and 1994 Colin carved out a successful wrestling career in the WWF and was known as "The Thunder from Down Under". Colin attributes his success to his early coaches Brett Hinch and Michael Markidis. [6]Today, Colin is a Healthy Active Ambassador for the Australian government.[2] References1. ^McBriar starts NFL journey against man who made him – Sport – www.smh.com.au {{St. Louis Cardinals 1987 draft navbox}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Scotts, Colin}}{{Defensive-lineman-1960s-stub}}2. ^1 Michael Milton and Colin Scotts 3. ^Hawaii NFL Draft Picks {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070815190943/http://www.theredzone.org/draft_history/showschool.asp?School=Hawaii |date=15 August 2007 }} 4. ^1987 NFL Draft Transactions {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928072741/http://n-c-systems.com/football/DraftTrades/1987.html |date=28 September 2007 }} 5. ^Colin Scotts Past Stats, Statistics, History, and Awards – databaseFootball.com {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224082244/http://www.databasefootball.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=SCOTTCOL01 |date=24 December 2014 }} 6. ^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROqKP08gMJo 11 : Australian players of American football|American football defensive tackles|St. Louis Cardinals (football) players|Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football players|Australian rugby union players|1963 births|Living people|Sportspeople from Sydney|People educated at The Scots College|Footballers who switched code|Rugby players that played in the NFL |
