Dae'Quan Wright

Wright has nice buildup speed, likely in the 4.5/4.6 40-yard dash range. He displays a nice second gear that he can hit in the open field. He has the speed and ball tracking to be a consistent seam threat in the NFL. His hips are a little tight, so we won't see a ton of twitch with the ball in his hands, but he is a linearly explosive athlete. His athletic limitations pop up at the catch point with his body control and adjusting to targets outside of his frame at times or with contested situations (26.7% contested catch rate in college). He has a thick, muscular frame that can break some tackles in the open field. He has a wonderful combination of speed, play strength, and nastiness. He's a tank in the open field. Wright has ranked in the top 16 in YAC per reception in three of the last four collegiate seasons. In 2023, he was seventh among tight ends in missed tackles forced. Wright is a nice dump-and-run option to churn out easy yards in the passing game. He also had a varied route tree, hitting 14% or higher marks of his overall route tree with go routes (14.7%), out routes (14%), hitch routes (17.3%), and crossing routes (25%). Wright needs to improve his hip sink with comebacks and curls if he's going to expand his route tree further. Wright shouldn't be counted on as a league-average blocker entering the NFL. He'll duck his head at times. He can get rag-dolled at times in pass pro. He is passable in chipping or combo block situations in the run game. Dynasty Outlook: Wright went undrafted, but he signed a UDFA deal with the Eagles. He'll start as the TE4 or TE5 on the depth chart if he can make the team. If he can make the roster, though, he could climb it to become the TE2 behind Eli Stowers. Grant Calcaterra, Dallas Goedert, and Johnny Mundt are free agents after the 2026 season.
