Will Jaylen Wright hear his name announced today?
There’s a possibility that former Tennessee Volunteers running back Jaylen Wright could be selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Wright’s draft stock has risen significantly during the pre-draft phase, notably due to his impressive performance at the NFL Combine and his relatively low mileage. At just 20 years old, he also boasts a noteworthy achievement of a 1,000-yard rushing season in the competitive SEC.
Many experts speculate that the market for running backs will begin around the 56th overall pick, potentially with the Dallas Cowboys. However, given the perceived lack of standout talent in this year’s running back class, it’s uncertain if a running back will be selected earlier than that. With no clear consensus on the order of running backs, Wright stands a good chance of being drafted.
Initially considered a day-three prospect, Wright’s impressive showing has propelled him into discussions for a potential third-round selection. While it remains to be seen if a team will choose to draft him earlier, there’s optimism that Wright, a standout player from Tennessee, will indeed have his name called during the draft.
