One-Liner:

Rejzohn Wright is a long and high energy cornerback who can play in combination primary zone and man schemes - can become a starter at the next level in the right system with continued development and improved effort against the run

Evaluation:

Rejzohn Wright possesses ideal size and length as a boundary cornerback. He plays with energy and juice that can elevate the play of players around him. Against the pass, Wright excels playing press man on larger and physical receivers as he can use his length and size to match up well and disrupt the timing on plays. Wright knows his advantages very well by using his size and length to also disrupt passing windows for quarterbacks. Not only is he physical enough to play man to man, he excels in zone coverage, where he displays a good ability to play on the line and off. He reads route combinations and quarterback’s eyes skillfully as well as shows overall awareness to close on underneath routes. Due to his size, Wright lacks the twitchiness, foot speed, and long speed to play man to man against receivers for an entire game. Agile and quick receivers can gain separation off pure speed and change of direction if Wright is unable to get his hands on them. Against the run, Wright lacks the physicality to use his size and tackle runners, as well as putting his head down and missing tackles overall. He will tend to sit back and wait for runners to get to him instead of putting his head down to attack the ball carrier. Overall, with Wright’s length and size, he can immediately be a depth piece at the next level who can shadow big, physical receivers as well as tight ends lined up out wide.

Grade:

4th Round
