Wright is a feisty player who has good speed and quickness to cover receivers. He's shown the toughness to be a regular contributor in run defense. He possesses excellent ball skills and is a good leaper who can get up after the balls. He's a consistent performer who has solid ACC experience.

Wright is undersized and struggles to cover more physical receivers. He plays a bit stiff and can be turned around by the better route-running receivers. While he's returned punts and kicks during his career, he's never been very successful at it.

Wright is a try-hard player who just doesn't measure up to NFL standards. He probably won't hear his name called in the 2010 NFL Draft, but has an excellent chance to make and NFL camp because of his production and experience.
