Fangio quarters, Cover-2/Cover-4 variations, and Cover-3 shells that prioritize versatility, range, and tackling, emphasizing his abilities in both run support and pass coverage from a two-high safety position.
Wright projects as an immediate starter as a strong safety capable of playing in the box and covering tight ends, with the ceiling to be a Pro Bowl caliber playmaker.
Man-heavy schemes that force him into isolated, complex coverage against elite wide receivers every snap.
A highly athletic and versatile safety with excellent size and speed, Wright is well-suited for schemes that ask their safeties to contribute significantly to both run defense and pass coverage with varied responsibilities.
Selected #75 overall in Round 3 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Chicago Bears out of Florida.
