Some NFL scouts have called Wright the best offensive tackle in the draft. He was a dominant right tackle who started 42 of 47 career games and played in 2,746 offensive snaps.
The former blue-chip recruit was a prep All-American in Huntington, West Virginia before being named an All-SEC freshman selection.
At 6-foot-5, 335 pounds, Wright has run the 40-yard dash in 5.01 seconds with a 9-6 broad jump.
He was a Lombardi award semifinalist and an SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week against Alabama and Kentucky.
He allowed no sacks last season as the Vols led the nation with 46.1 points and 525.5 yards per game.
