Career Stats

Scouts Inc. Profile

Wright has good size and good upper-body strength. He uses his hands well in block protection and plays a very aggressive style of corner. He is at his best when he can get up in a receiver's face and jam him and play press man-to-man coverage. He does an excellent job of shuffling and getting hands on receivers and re-routing them. He has very good foot quickness and speed. He can flip his hips and turn and run with most receivers, but he lacks make-up speed if he makes a mistake in coverage. He is not comfortable playing the off technique and is much more effective in press at the line of scrimmage. He is too high in his backpedal and loses steps in his transition. He tends to peek into the backfield and is vulnerable to double moves. He lacks body control and change-of-direction skills. He is a very aggressive tackler, and he plays with a high level of intensity. He is very average in terms of play recognition and occasionally gets himself out of position, and he will miss tackles because he gets overaggressive. He is a big contributor on special teams, and once he settles down and works on his technique, he will be an effective player on the outside.
