Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright has pulled out of this year's Senior Bowl due to an ankle injury he's battled throughout the season, according to ESPN Radio Central Texas sports director David Smoak.
2012 Senior Bowl: Ankle injury knocks out Baylor WR Kendall Wright
During his senior season, Wright dealt with the ankle injuries, as well as shoulder and knee issues. Even with the injuries, Wright finished his senior season with 108 receptions for 1,663 yards and 14 touchdowns. Leading up to the Oklahoma game in November, Wright was listed as probable throughout the week. Against the Sooners, he had eight receptions for 208 yards and a score. So while Wright had an excellent opportunity at the Senior Bowl, his ability to play through injury should get him plus marks from teams.
Wright is now the second top wide receiver to pull out of the Senior Bowl. Last week, Notre Dame's Michael Floyd decided to not play in the game. Without Wright and Floyd, the top wide receiver at the Senior Bowl now is North Carolina's Dwight Jones. Players like Jones, Arizona's Juron Criner, Iowa's Marvin McNutt, Ohio State's DeVier Posey and Appalachian State's Brian Quick will be getting the full attention of NFL scouts.
