Scooby Wright III coming back home to Arizona to play for the Cardinals

We waited and waited and waited for some really smart NFL team to draft our star middle linebacker Scooby Wright’s name flash across our televisions sets. Finally, the Cleveland Browns came knocking and Scoob was drafted in the sixth round, the No. 250th pick.

Just after he was drafted the Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians told folks that he called Wright just before the draft to offer him as a free agent. Arians recently recovered from an illness that sent him to the hospital for a brief stay. Here is Arians statement from AZ Central:

“Scooby’s a great blitzer, and I actually had Scooby on the phone, begging him to come with us as a free agent because I think he has something special about him, and the Browns drafted him,” Arians said recently during promotions for the second annual Arians Family Foundation Fundraiser at Steak 44.
