One of the best defensive players in Arizona Wildcats history is giving it another go in professional football, this time in the upcoming Alliance of American Football that begins play next year.
Wright, a linebacker who won three national player of the year awards in 2014, has signed with the Arizona Hotshots according to Shane Dale of ABC15 in Phoenix.
A seventh-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2016, Wright never played for the Browns but did appear in 13 games in 2016-17 with the Arizona Cardinals. He was waived by the Cardinals prior to the 2018 opener.
