Eazy-E 2,016 Report post Posted March 20 If you watch the two of these guys play it is very similar. Neither has blazing speed or crazy athleticism but they get open and make clutch catches. Cotchery was huge for us in 2015 and I am expecting Wright to have that same impact. I am really excited about this signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t96 15,987 Report post Posted March 20 (edited) He's a poor man's Cotch but he actually is quite a bit faster/quicker. Cotchery had several 1000 yard seasons and years where he was the #1-2 guy and produced, Wright has never had that. He will play a similar role but we can only hope for "young" Cotchery production. I think he could do as much for as Cotch did when he was here but not when he was young and in his prime. EDIT: actually Cotch just had one 1000 yard season but several 800+ Edited March 20 by thomas96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bj-Monster23 467 Report post Posted March 20 Jairus Wright is a steal imo. He is a faster younger slot player who has some big play ability. Vikings fans loved Wright but he was buried on their depth chart under Laquan Treadwell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smithers 2,645 Report post Posted March 20 Wright ran a 4.39 40. He’s a fast SOB. Much faster than Cotchery (4.54). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
