The Cleveland Browns run a modified 4-3 defense, which emphasizes a strong pass rush from the defensive ends and seeks to create disruption.
Wright projects as a Day 1 rotational 4-3 strong-side defensive end with the potential to develop into a full-time starter who can set the edge and generate interior pressure.
He would struggle in a 3-4 two-gap scheme that requires him to consistently hold his ground against double teams and read-and-react to the run.
Wright's size, length, and power make him a natural fit for a one-gap 4-3 system where he can primarily function as an edge setter and occasional interior rusher.
Selected #78 overall in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of UAB.
