The biggest knock on 5-foot-10 Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright is his size. But just how good is the senior wide receiver? According to Tony Pauline of SI.com/DraftInsider.net, he's considered to be quite good by NFL scouts.
Praise high for Baylor WR Kendall Wright
Earlier this week we were alerted that several teams, including one NFC team in the playoffs this weekend, grade Wright as the top wide out in the draft. After several conversations with scouts and league insiders we found out this is not an anomaly- many decision makers rate Kendall Wright higher than his Big 12 counterpart (Justin Blackmon).
At the Senior Bowl, Wright will get to validate that claims and show he's not a product of Robert Griffin III and the Baylor spread offense. Unlike many shorter wide receivers, Wright is much more than simply a slot receiver. He's fast enough to get vertical outside and has surprising strength to beat the jam. Wright is coming off a dominant senior season of 108 receptions for 1,663 yards and 14 touchdowns. His year included two games of more than 200 yards receiving.
I'm in the process of rebuilding the site's rankings, which will have Wright behind Blackmon and Notre Dame's Michael Floyd. For now, read Pauline's full report here. Our friends at NewEraScouting have a report up on Wright here.
