ESPN Survey: Darnell Wright is the Top Right Tackle in the NFL

ESPN Survey: Darnell Wright is the Top Right Tackle in the NFL reports on an ESPN poll identifying Chicago Bears right tackle Darnell Wright as the highest-ranked right tackle among position groups. For the seventh time, ESPN surveyed 70 executives, coaches, and scouts to rank top players at individual spots. The article places Wright at No. 6 overall among offensive tackles, and explains that he becomes the top right tackle on the list if Penei Sewell is assumed to move to the left side. A voter cited Wright’s pass protection, noting he ranked fourth in ESPN’s “pass block win rate” at 95.2%, and praised his “power and brute strength.” The piece also mentions injuries during his short career and that not every rep has been perfect. It adds context that Chicago has three offensive units in the top ten, including starting left guard Joe Thuney at No. 5 and tight end Colston Loveland at No. 7, and notes Wright’s next contract could be significant given he was a first-round pick.
