Scouting Report on Major Wright

by JC Shurburtt - 06/19/2006
What sets Wright apart is that he’s fearless. He won’t be able to get by with some of the tackling techniques he uses in high school against bigger, stronger ball carriers in college, but the level of intensity at which he plays the game will allow him to be special after a learning curve. Could end up being one of those guys that is a special teams demon, blocking punts, covering kicks, etc., until he gets his feet wet on defense. Very well coached in that regard on the high school level. Has good enough ball skills to not be a liability in the passing game from a strong safety or outside linebacker position early in his career. Will need to work on being a center fielder-type.
