He grew up in California, went to college in Oregon. But
Nahshon Wright says he "loves football" and that's the
reason why he's not only heard of Dan Quinn, but is very
familiar with his style of play.To get more news about

A student of the game, Wright said he's followed Quinn's
success in both Seattle and Atlanta and knew that was the
type of scheme he wanted to play, if he got the chance to
be in the NFL.
The Cowboys, perhaps with a nudge from Quinn and the
defensive coaches, gave Wright that opportunity last week
by drafting him in the third round.
While some draft "experts" believe Wright's selection as
the 99th overall pick was a bit high, he might not be the
right fit in every scheme. But he certainly has that one
thing Quinn and head coach Mike McCarthy seem to be
looking for: length.
At 6-4, 190 pounds, Wright has the physique of a big
safety or even a lanky receiver. But at cornerback,
there's not many that make it in the NFL with that type
of size.Nahshon Wright, love his length," McCarthy said
after the draft. "I really like his path through his
career, the receiver skills. Dan Quinn was up at the
Oregon State workout. We love the tape going into it. His
ability to play with length but to also go and track the
ball. Some of our guys compared him to Trevon (Diggs) as
far as his ability to track the football."
Wright had five interceptions in a career that spanned
just 18 games over a two-year period. Because of that, it
wasn't easy for teams to get a good read on Wright, who
said he had plenty of conversations with the Cowboys,
ranging from all sorts of topics.It was more so just
talking on a personal level. We didn't talk a whole lot
of football," Wright said. "I know quite a bit about
coach Dan Quinn and what he likes to run. (We) didn't
talk too much football; we really just got to know each
other. I love to watch football. I saw what he did at
Atlanta and what type of scheme he ran. And just the type
of corners he likes, long and athletic."
And obviously, cornerbacks that size have their
disadvantages in trying to have enough quickness to stay
with the speedy receivers. But Wright said his size has
some benefits as well.For me, it's an advantage. I can
get my hands on the shorter, quicker guys, and I'm able
to run with them," Wright said. "With the bigger guys,
I'm able to match their physicality, so for me it's an
advantage, if anything."
Wright raised a few eyebrows in his press conference to
the media after being drafted when he favorably compared
himself to Richard Sherman, who is currently a free agent
but excelled for Quinn in Seattle, which ran a scheme
that hasn't changed too much over the years.
