'24 Draft Profile - Tennessee's RB Jaylen Wright

His work at the NFL Combine verified his tape, Wright is an explosive running back.

This crop of running back prospects continues with another in this group that appears below the elite RB prospects that some years offer like Bijan Robinson, but also well above the “all RBs are the same” simplification that you will hear out there in the wild. Today, we examine Tennessee’s Jaylen Wright.

No. 0 - Jaylen Wright - Age 20 - Junior - 5’11 - 210 - 4.38 - Tennessee

Wright entered college having his senior year in high school completely cancelled in 2020 for COVID Reasons, but entered Tennessee and played quite a bit as a true freshman. He then took things over in 2022 and 2023 and put out a very nice body of work. Tennessee had a stable of RBs, but Wright was the one they built the game-plan around and was a pretty steady producer, built on some very big runs.

Explosive speed is off the charts. RAS scores are insane and best in class amongst the top prospects. Explosive vertical, Broad, and 40. Such a smooth athlete and runs so well.
