Impact Wright is currently on the Cleveland Browns roster, but he has decided that he will seek a new program to play for in the 2026 season. The tight end was one of 16 players whom a Louisiana court granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA on Wednesday to pursue a fifth year of eligibility.

Wright is vewed as a likely Day 3 pick but could see his stock rise if he impresses scouts during the draft process.
