The Wright Time to Move Forward - CSURams.com

Wright has done his part. It started in the weight room, but he also knew he could improve his cuts and how he ran his routes. Lynch will tell you Wright is smart, but the player wants to know more.

Being an All-American is great, but for Wright, it’s not enough.

“You enjoy the victories, and you enjoy the little things you did, the accomplishments, but at the same time, you want to get better,” Wright said. “You don’t want to have just one good season, you want to build off of that. You want to show them you can do more.

“I think enjoy what you have, then go right back at it. You don’t take a day off. Really, it’s building off of it and not enjoying it too much. We didn’t win. That’s the ultimate goal. I’m not satisfied with that at all. Four wins is not enough.”

O’Brien is well aware of the difference maker Wright was last year. The Rams will need it all again this year, but they also expect more. It’s the natural progression.

In fact, they believe they’ve just started to scratch the surface in ways they can use Wright, but more importantly, Wright continues to expand on what he can do, fitting naturally into a growing role.

“He’s already a really good player as he is, but I think he can take that next step and be that 1,000-yard receiver like Warren Jackson did last year,” O’Brien said. “I think he’s got the potential to do it. If he keeps building the success he had last year, the sky is the limit.

“His ceiling is NFL potential. You put a little size on him, but his speed and his route running, as a small guy, he’s able to jump up and make jump-ball plays and catches. His potential is great, and he’s only a sophomore. If he can keep building on that, I think he’s ready to go.”

His catch Monday was just another example. Right now, Lynch is just enjoying the privilege of seeing it play out in person and no longer on film. It moves his mind to be more creative, because Wright isn’t just showing the player he was, but the weapon he can become on game day.

“There’s all the stuff from a talent standpoint and the ability to run, but it’s the intangibles that really make players special,” Lynch said. “He has those, and he’ll keep getting better. He’s gotten better every day since we’ve been with him, and I see that continuing throughout his career.”

What Wright didn’t see coming last year was due to what he didn’t know about the college game. Now he does. He knows the speed of the game, the strength of the players. He knows what he’s good at, and what he’s doing better. He saw where he could get better and attacked the process.

Being a Freshman All-American was great, no doubt. But he’s no longer a freshman. Wright will be the first one to tell you it is time to move on. To be precise, move forward.
