#Eagles signing UDFA TE Dae’Quan Wright, who runs with good route pacing and moves well for a player his size. Willing to do the dirt work in the run game. Has 8 TDS over the last two seasons. Nice development player at the position.

While the production is notable, Wright’s on-field traits are what truly make him an intriguing prospect. He excels at adjusting to the ball in space, showing natural body control and strong awareness when settling into soft spots in coverage.
After the catch, Wright consistently generates extra yardage, using his agility and balance to make defenders miss and extend plays. His effectiveness as a move blocker further enhances his value, allowing him to contribute in a variety of offensive schemes and alignments.
