Scouting Reports
Here is a scouting report from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, who had Wright as his 18th-ranked edge rusher on his board, a projected third round pick, and the No. 98th player overall in the entire draft:
A three-year starter at UAB, Wright played the “Jack” edge rusher role (stand up and hand on the ground) in defensive coordinator David Reeves’ hybrid 3-4 scheme, aligning outside, inside or over the offensive tackle.
