Overview

When Wright signed with Miami he was widely considered the top prep quarterback prospect in the country, but his play has regressed each of the past three seasons. Wright has good size, athleticism and the quick release NFL scouts are looking for. With his natural ability, there will be a team willing to take a late-round chance on Wright as a developmental prospect even though he lacks a monster arm.

Analysis

Positives: Prototype size for the position.. … Smooth footwork and set-up.. … Good short- and medium-range accuracy.. … Adequate arm strength to complete the deep pass.. … Good overall athletic ability.. … Can buy time in the pocket and has the speed and elusiveness to gain yards as a scrambler.. … Intelligent player who can take plays from the chalkboard and apply them to the field.

Negatives: Lacks poise when facing a heavy rush.. … Stares down his primary target and trusts his own arm and the athleticism of his receivers too much, resulting in some terrible decisions.. … Not a natural leader.. … Adequate arm strength for the short- and medium-range, but lacks the arm strength to consistently place deep passes with accuracy.. … Athletic on the move, but lacks instincts as a runner.
