Nahshon Wright - Cornerback Oregon State Beavers Scouting Report

Scouting report for NFL Draft prospect Nahshon Wright

NAHSHON WRIGHT | Oregon State | DC | #2 | Jr | 6031 | 188 | East Paolo Alto, CA | James Logan HS | 09.23.98

Overview: 

Wright has length for days that teams will covet. He’s a young player who is only a true junior with two years of starting experience after spending his freshman year in junior college. Most comfortable in zone coverage where he displays a good feel for deciphering and spacing route concepts with notable awareness. Excels at using his length at the catch point, showing high-end ball skills with five career interceptions through 18 career games. Provides projectable press-man skills while showing the ability to mirror at the line of scrimmage and excel using his length. High-cut waist hinders his athletic ability, lacking burst to close downhill and when transitioning out of his hips. Inferior play strength is a concern showing an inability to get off blocks and bring power on contact as a tackler. An intriguing prospect who is scheme specific; could reward a Cover 3 press-man team with a Pro Bowl caliber player.
