Meet Kenny Wright

He started all 16 games for the Jags last year, and it sounds like he's had plenty of experience as a starting CB. You have to like that as your nickel CB. Sounds like if Rogers or Springs gets hurt, we'll have a pretty reliable guy to come in and help stop the bleeding. This is a very important signing even though it comes without the fanfare, CB was a big need for us. Sounds like a big upgrade over Walt Harris.

I couldnt agree more. The fact that he started 16 games for a 12-4 playoff team means a lot to me. He sounds like an ideal nickel guy who clearly has the starting experience to step into the breach should Springs or Rogers go down. This sounds like an excellent signing, and I feel pretty good about The Ade at #4.

On a random note Im pretty excited about Demetric Evans coming back...I think the future of our DL could be him and Carter on the outside. Any word on length of contract or terms?

I wonder if he played with or against P.Ram in HS. They're both from Ruston, LA.

" Kenny Wright, who plays cornerback for the Houston Texans in the NFL, won the inaugural Higginbotham Award — setting a school record in both the triple jump and long jump, while running on the 400-meter relay team that set a meet record. Since Wright, several of the legends of the RHS track program have been honored with the Higginbotham Award — including current Washington Redskins' quarterback Patrick Ramsey, who set a school-record throw of the javelin in 1997."

I think they're two years apart

I also like the fact that he is a EXCELLENT special teams guy...our teams could be the best we have seen in years.

Nice find TAFKAS! Thanks.

At least we have another beast in the secondary.

If anything, we should be able to look forward to some hits on Jacked Up.

Shoot, even "the Ade" could be an upgrade over Harris.....
Agreed...LOL

It's always interesting to see what a new Redskin's former team fans think of him....

Very few negatives there. :)

Looks like the skins did their homework again. Davy, thanks for the link to that jaguars discussion board. Their opinions are good to know.

I liked those takes from Jags fans. Wright sounds like he'll be a very solid nickel corner for us, and if needed he is more than capable of starting.

Can anyone find the hit Wright made that the Jaguar fans were talking about?
