Wright's rookie season was disappointing, but patience is warranted in light of his age (22 in April) and the fact that he was never a full-time player in college at Tennessee. The 2024 fourth-round pick still has plenty of big-play potential, thanks to his 4.38 speed at 5-foot-11, 210 pounds. De'Von Achane is too light to do everything in the Miami backfield, and with Raheem Mostert no longer on the roster, Wright only needs to outrank Alexander Mattison to earn change-of-pace carries. The danger there is that Mattison is a good pass blocker who can also execute power concepts better than speed backs like Achane and Wright. Rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon is a better option for power concepts as well, adding another element of competition to Miami's backfield. The good news, apart from the possibility of continued development, is that Wright's skill set makes him the best fit to take on a large share of Achane's touches if Achane misses time.
