Pros:
• Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and Wright shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
• He’s a willing and capable hitter in run support and closes fast to make plays against quick screens.
• Has the quick feet to mirror receivers underneath. Wright also has the fluid hips and top-end speed to turn and run downfield. Wright shows good awareness when dropping into zone coverage, with good route recognition and the ability to break quickly and cover a lot of ground.
• Has an NFL frame with strong hands, the ability to close quickly on underneath routes and the size to tackle with a thump.
• Shows good instincts when facing the action in zone coverage, and he has solid ball skills.
• With his length, athleticism, and natural ball skills, he will be highly valued by press cover teams and could earn a top 100 pick.
• Has good cover skills, athleticism and big -play ability to be a lead cornerback if he matures.
Cons:
• Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn’t always look natural changing directions.
• Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position.
