It wouldn’t be an NFL Flag Championship without Brysen Wright of Jacksonville going viral.
For the second year in a row, Wright, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound rising sophomore at Mandarin, broke the internet with a play for the Jaguars Elite team.
Wright caught a 30-yard TD pass from Dalton Motes on Saturday in a 24-19 victory over Old Skewl (Baltimore Ravens) in the quarterfinals of the 14U bracket at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
The play caught the attention of, among hundreds of thousands of people on social media, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Wright ran a flag pattern from about 30 yards out, cutting outside and breaking away from double coverage. Jaguars quarterback Dylan Motes lofted the ball into the end zone and Wright jumped over a defender and pulled the ball in one-handed, with his back hand, maintaining control of the ball through the ground.
He got bumped by one defender on his break, then outjumped another one to pull the ball in.
Wright scored three TDs in the game, including the game winner from 5 yards out from Motes with 30 seconds to play. In five games, Wright has scored seven touchdowns. He also added an interception on Saturday.
The Jaguars will play RFP (Buffalo Bills) in the 14U semifinals on Sunday at Noon, with the game televised on ESPN, ESPN+ and NFL+. If the Jaguars win, they will play in the championship game at 4 p.m.
