Scott L. Bentley (born April 10, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles. Bentley played in the NFL for parts of four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Washington Redskins. He was also a member of the 2001 World Bowl Champion Berlin Thunder of NFL Europa.
Bentley attended and graduated from Florida State University and Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado. He kicked the game-winning field goal as coach Bobby Bowden's 1993 Seminoles won the program's first national title, beating Nebraska, 18–16, in the 1994 Orange Bowl.
Bentley was on the cover of Sports Illustrated's College Football Preview in 1993, later to be victimized by the "Cover Jinx" after missing seven extra point attempts in the season's first five games.
After his NFL career, Bentley moved back to Colorado and works as a BDC Manager and is an avid softball player.[1]
