Nahshon Wright's Breakout Season

0:00NFL stories making news on March 5th.

Now the 27-year-old heads into free agency with serious leverage for a multi-year deal worth eight figures or more. Wright's path wasn't easy. A third-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2021, he bounced as a backup before a trade to the Minnesota Vikings in 2024. After mostly practice squad time, he got released last spring and signed with Chicago where he finally got his shot as a starter. His defensive coordinator, Al Harris, deserves big credit.

That coaching turned right into a ballhawk, building on success as Harris had with players like Trevon Diggs and Marcus

As free agency nears, Wright hopes to stay in Chicago but stays open-minded about his market value. His breakout has him confident for a long NFL career, ready to cash in on the growth he fought hard for. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode.
