The Denver Broncos are among numerous teams showing pre-draft interest in former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright, NFL reporter Arye Pulli passed along Saturday.
Wright had virtual meetings with Denver as well as Miami, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Baltimore, and in-person visits with the Cardinals and Cowboys.
Wright (6-4, 246) began his collegiate career at Virginia Tech before spending his final two seasons with the Rebels. Combined, he totaled 113 catches for 1,603 yards and nine touchdowns across 47 appearances.
“Wright is a high-cut, tight-hipped tight end who can stretch the field vertically but lacks fluidity and bend for crisp route breaks from speed,” reads his NFL Media scouting profile. “He builds speed to threaten defenses, working the vertical limbs of the route tree. He can gain an advantage on linebackers when aligned outside. He’s big and strong enough to improve as a run blocker but needs better technique and commitment in that area. Wright projects as a Day 3 pick who should fight for a role as a TE3/4.”
Wright is the second notable TE to meet with the Broncos in the run-up to next month’s Draft. The team also recently conducted top-30 visit with Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers, a potential second-round selection.
