Scooby Wright III has been proving doubters wrong since he was in high school.
Coaches from Cal and Washington told him he wasn’t good enough to play in the Pac-12, and the Arizona Wildcats were his only Division I offer.
That worked out OK.
Wright ended up being a unanimous All-American, Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, and swept the defensive award circuit winning the Bednarik, Nagurski and Lombardi awards in his sophomore season.
He battled through injuries his junior season before declaring for the NFL Draft. Once a projected a third to fourth round pick, Wright fell all the way to the Cleveland Browns in the seventh round at pick 250, fourth to last in the 2016 NFL Draft.
