Scouting Report: Strengths
- Reads receivers' routes and anticipates throws at the first down marker. Covers a lot of ground in a hurry when in space. Reads the quarterback's eyes and sees the routes very quickly, then has straight-line speed to arrive with or just after the ball.
- Closing speed and willingness to make the big hit make him one of the more versatile safeties in the class.
- Rare hand-eye coordination and agility, vision and third gear to make a living in the return game.
- His ball skills are very good. Wright tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Wright isn’t targeted often.
- Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
- Fast and agile, he sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has poor recognition skills when facing the action in zone coverage.
- Holds the ball loosely. Inconsistent in run support. Average tackler
- At this point, Wright can get outmuscled. Wright also might be susceptible to catch and- run plays. He’ll give effort in run support, but he’s going to struggle to get off blocks against physical outside receivers.
