Tennessee Volunteers running back Jaylen Wright had a breakout season in his last year on Rough Beat. He capped off his senior season with 1,013 hurrying yards and four touchdowns. He may not be considered the finest running back within the 2024 draft course, but whoever takes a chance on Wright will get a take.
He positioned within the beat four of all running backs at the combine within the 40-ard sprint, vertical bounce, and wide hop. He wasn’t a running back who was recognized by correspondents broadly or had a breakout game, but he took advantage of his opportunity at the combine to appear off his aptitudes before scouts from each NFL establishment.
Wright’s first big-time moment at this year’s combine was with his broad jump. He ranks first among all running backs at this year’s draft combine with an 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump. That is unreal; even the official NFL Twitter/X account had to recognize Wright.
No running back was near to Wright’s wide hop, with Louisville’s Isaac Guerendo getting a respectable 10-foot, 9-inches. It is additionally the second-best wide bounce by a running back in NFL combine history.
Wright reached sub-4.40 in his 40-time with a 3.38, which ranks him second among all running backs at the combine, only behind Guerendo. This was Wright’s first opportunity to show his unreal speed at the combine.
Another Gen Stats also found that Wright was the primary running back within the two previous combines to reach 15 mph inside the primary five yards of his 40-yard sprint. Wright’s speed, combined with his dangerous control, will permit him to be a energetic back for any NFL offense.
Wright’s vertical jump was the worst of the three compared to his running back competition. His 38.00″ vertical ranks fourth against the other running backs at the combine. While Wright didn’t come into combine week expected to be one of the top running backs in this year’s draft, he has proven he should be with his performance in Indianapolis.
