Whereas coaching camps for NFL groups begin in a few weeks, the NFL Supplemental Draft presents a chance so as to add expertise to rosters. This 12 months, two receivers have been authorized for Tuesday’s draft: Milton Wright and Malachi Wideman.

Whereas Wright’s identify was the primary recognized for the supplemental draft, Wideman was simply added this week.

Wright was anticipated to take the place of Cleveland Browns draftee David Bell because the Purdue Boilermakers‘ high receiver however was dominated academically ineligible final season. In 2021, alongside Bell, Wright had 57 receptions for 732 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Many had been hopeful that Wright might be a much bigger receiver that might make performs excessive and with the ball in his arms. At present we received data that the previous Boilermaker labored out for NFL groups like draft prospects do on the NFL mix and professional days. Wright’s measurements and timing scores lead a bit to be desired:

For reference, Browns WR Donovan Peoples-Jones measured in at the same top (6-1 1/2”) however weight 22 kilos heavier with longer arms and greater arms. DPJ had a quicker 40 time (4.48), a a lot increased vertical soar (44.5) and a greater broad soar by over a foot (11’ 7”).

Whereas Peoples-Jones didn’t full the quick shuttle, WR Cedric Tillman did this season the place he graded out poorly with a time of 4.4, nonetheless considerably higher than Wright’s time of 4.69.

Combining his restricted manufacturing in a pass-heavy offense with the above occasions makes it possible that Wright is a late-round choice within the upcoming NFL Supplemental Draft, if he’s drafted in any respect.
