Vikings acquired CB Nahshon Wright from the Cowboys in exchange for CB Andrew Booth Jr.

8 months ago

Wright (third round) and Booth (second round) are former, recent Day 2 draft picks. The move provides both players with a fresh start following volatile early-career showings. The strength of Wright’s play has largely been in run defense but he did produce a career-best 0.69 yards allowed per coverage snap last season.

Cowboys selected Oregon State CB Nahshon Wright with the No. 99 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. 

3 years ago

Wright (6'4/183) was a multi-sport star in high school who had to settle for junior college offers in football. He arrived in Corvallis in 2019 after winning a junior college title in 2018. He picked off five passes across two PAC-12 campaigns, taking advantage of his imposing length against smaller college wideouts. Wright lacks high-end defensive back speed but is a ballhawk who is excellent in the air. Nevertheless, NFL.com's Lance Zierlein has major concerns about Wright's frame, agility and strength. He is a bit of a project whose height will keep him on 53-man rosters as he tries to fill out and improve his functional strength.
