The story of former Cleveland Browns defensive back Felix Wright is not just of a great football player, but of a football player who persevered in sports as well as in life.
Wright has several nicknames. The most prominent is “Flex.” He grew up in Carthage, Missouri, and loved the playing style of Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Emmitt Thomas since the Chiefs played nearby.
After a really good high school career, he received minimal attention from colleges including only one D-1 school. He accepted the scholarship from Drake University and although an outstanding institution, it didn’t exactly have Power 5 credentials.
