Game Film Evaluated:
Ole Miss (2014)
LSU (2014)

Pros: Good burst off the snap, gets good arm extension on the lineman. Showed a good rip move if he was able to locate the ball. He is only able to get pressure if the lineman drops his head and Wright will use a strong punch to knock them off balance. Real good at shooting the gap. Had a pedestrian game vs Ole Miss until the 4th quarter and almost shut them down on his own. Had a better frame in 2014, seemed to trim a bit of fat off his frame. He can hold the LOS. Has a good initial punch capable of getting blockers off balance.

Cons: Doesn’t offer any pass rush moves once engaged, cannot get off the block. Might play best in a one gap role, not on the nose in a odd man front. He is not an effective rusher once engaged, he struggles to get off blocks. He has no use of pass rush moves consistently. Struggles to locate the ball unless they run right at him.


Summary: Gabe Wright is an effective inside one-technique tackle who projects best to play in a 4-3 scheme. He plays with a good burst but cannot change directions quickly nor has any use of pass rush moves to be a 3-technique. He can play the run effectively if he finds the ball and can hold at the POA. He looks like a 2nd - 3rd round pick.
