Irving C. Tomlinson and Jake Scott

Born Irving Clinton Tomlinson, in Perry, New York, he was the son of Dewitt Clinton, a minister and Emmeline C. Eaton Tomlinson. The family moved to Akron, Ohio, where his father was involved with raising funds to build a new Universalist educational institution, and where Tomlinson later went to preparatory school and college. He was the class president of a senior class of seven students, and business manager of The Argo, the first student publication at Buchtel College. He was also a member of Phi Delta Theta, a fraternity.

While a senior, he and his classmates decided to surpass an effort made by the previous year's graduating class, which had been to place a two-ton boulder on the campus, a lasting reminder of them. Tomlinson and his classmates searched the vicinity and located a syenite boulder on a farm belonging to the industrialist son of Akron's founder, Colonel Simon Perkins. Tomlinson was sent to purchase the "pebble", as they called it, which measured 7 feet tall, 5 feet wide and 3.5 feet across (2.1×1.5×1.1m) and 90 cubic feet (23 m3). The owner didn't want to sell and didn't think Tomlinson and his friends would be able to move it, saying "six yoke of oxen weren’t able to budge it." Tomlinson replied, “But, Colonel, that was a good while ago and things have changed. The telephone has been invented, and lots else, and I think we can get it.” They did have to pay a local building mover and the move took several days, but they were able to install "The Rock" on campus, where it remains a campus landmark.

Tomlinson graduated from Buchtel in 1880 with a B.A. and in 1883, with a M.A. Buchtel later became the municipal University of Akron. Tomlinson then enrolled in the theological program of Tufts College in Medford, Massachusetts, receiving a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1888. Soon after graduating, he became the minister at the First Universalist Society of Arlington, Massachusetts, later First Universalist Church.

In 1894, Tomlinson learned of Christian Science and attended his first Christian Science church service and some time later—still a Universalist minister—had primary class instruction. Soon after the course was over, however, Tomlinson withdrew from the Universalist church, " found it impossible to ride two horses going in opposite directions." Tomlinson became a member of The Mother Church in 1897 and in 1898, was invited to be in the last class taught by Mary Baker Eddy. In 1898, he was also appointed to the Christian Science Board of Lectureship and the following year, he was asked by Eddy to serve as First Reader at the church in Concord, New Hampshire; his sister Mary was asked to serve as Second Reader. Also in 1898, Eddy asked Tomlinson to serve on the Bible Lesson Committee, which prepares the lesson-sermons read in all Christian Science churches. Tomlinson remained on this committee until 1927. In addition, Tomlinson served in other capacities. In 1903 and again in 1921, he was elected president of The Mother Church and most notably, he was one of Eddy's secretaries for 12 years and a worker in her household from 1907 to 1910. His book, Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy was published in 1945, the year after his death. In 1928, he taught the Normal class, which trains new teachers of Christian Science and is held just once every three years.

College career

After growing up in Athens, Georgia, but playing high school football in Arlington, Virginia at Washington-Lee High School, Scott played college football at the University of Georgia, where he led Georgia in interceptions in 1967 with six interceptions and 1968 with ten interceptions. In 1967, Scott was named first-team All-SEC defensive back by the Associated Press, and in 1968 again in both the AP and the UPI. The ten interceptions in a season is now second-most in Georgia history behind Terry Hoage’s 12 in 1982. Scott’s 175 return yards on interceptions in 1968 is also second all-time for Georgia.

Scott’s college career total of 315 interception return yards is the most in Georgia’s history. He also holds the current Georgia record for career interceptions.

Scott was inducted into the State of Georgia Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Athens (GA) Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000.

It was announced on May 17, 2011 that Scott had been selected for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Scott left the University of Georgia after his sophomore year to go to Canada and play professional football in the CFL. Based on his 20 July birth date, Scott's military draft lottery number of record was 187. The highest administrative draft number called for Scott's year group was 195, suggesting that Scott could have been, but was not, drafted for military service during the Vietnam War. Professional career

Scott began his professional career in 1969 in the Canadian Football League as a defensive back and kick returner with the BC Lions. He was drafted by the Dolphins in seventh round of the 1970 NFL Draft, where in his rookie year, he recorded five interceptions and returned one punt return for touchdown. The following year, he recorded seven interceptions and 318 punt return yards, helping the team reach Super Bowl VI, which they lost 24-3 to the Dallas Cowboys. Scott recorded a 21-yard punt return in the game.

Scott was a key member of the 1972 Miami Dolphins undefeated season, and was named Super Bowl MVP of Super Bowl VII, recording two interceptions in the Dolphins' 14-7 win over the Washington Redskins including one in the fourth quarter. He helped the Dolphins in their 24-7 Super Bowl VIII win, recording two fumble recoveries, 20 punt return yards, and 47 kickoff return yards in that game. He established 2 Super Bowl Records. Jake set a record by being the first player to recover 2 fumbles in one game. He also first established the record for most career fumble recoveries in Super Bowls at two, a record now shared by 12 others. Scott is still the only player to have recovered one of his own team's fumbles and one of his opponent's fumbles.

Overall, Scott finished his nine seasons with 49 interceptions. He made 35 interceptions playing 6 seasons for Miami, making him the Dolphins' all-time leader in that category,. Scott had 13 fumble recoveries in his career. On special teams, he gained 1,357 yards and a touchdown returning punts, and 137 yards on six kickoff returns.

Scott played for the Redskins the final 3 years of his career.

In the late 1980s, NFL Films named Scott as the Dolphins All-Time Neutralizer sponsored by Tums. He was inducted into the Georgia-Florida Hall of Fame in 1998.

Scott was one of only three living Super Bowl MVPs who did not attend Super Bowl XL, when all previous MVPs were honored prior to the game. The other no-shows were Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana.
