To get to know Detroit Lions fourth-round pick Gabe Wright, a defensive tackle from Auburn, I sent five questions to Walt Austin from College and Magnolia, SB Nation's Tigers blog. Here's a look at what he had to say about Wright:
1. Unsurprisingly, Wright has drawn a lot of comparisons to former Auburn and Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley. Are Fairley and Wright at all similar on and off the field?
On the field, I would say they are very similar in some respects. Both are immensely talented, but don't have a whole lot to show for it in the stats columns (aside from Fairley's monster 2010 season at Auburn).
