Pro Journey
2023 Draft · 1st round, pick 10 · Chicago Bears
Chicago made Wright the highest-drafted SEC offensive lineman of the 2023 class, taking him 10th overall — the first first-round pick of the Josh Heupel era. He's started at right tackle for the Bears since his rookie season.
Why Vol Nation Should Watch
Wright's calling card at Tennessee was pure pass-protection reliability — the same trait that made him a Day 1 starter in Chicago. His snap count and sacks-allowed number are the stats that matter most for a tackle like him.
