Allen Park — In the Patriots' 34-9 win over the Lions last season, New England tight end Tim Wright had five catches for 36 yards and two touchdowns.
He was safe in assuming the Lions knew who he was after that performance.
"That's something that worked in my favor," he said Tuesday after his trade to Detroit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became official.
Now, Wright will have to work hard in the next handful of days to prove he deserves a spot on the 53-man roster, and he might be in a direct competition with Joseph Fauria for just one job.
