Browns rookie linebacker Scooby Wright impressing coaches who believe he could be seventh-round steal

Browns inside linebacker Scooby Wright undercut a deep out route, intercepted a pass thrown by fellow rookie Cody Kessler and caught the attention of coach Hue Jackson as he barreled toward the end zone.

“That a way, Scooby. That a way, Scooby,” Jackson said, running toward Wright to congratulate him with a pat on the helmet. “Good job, Scooby. Scooby, nice job. Scooby, nice job. Scooby, that a baby. That a baby. That a way. That a way.”

The scene unfolded last month during a rookie minicamp practice at FirstEnergy Stadium. Although Jackson and his coaching staff won’t be able to adequately evaluate their players until they strap on pads in training camp, which opens July 29, they’re excited about Wright.
