Darnell Wright Scouting Report

"Club bouncer with power, mobility and improving technique but is tight, top heavy, struggles with counters and may have an issue with consistency long term."

Strength:

Club bouncer with power and solid mobility. Upper body strong and relishes throwing guys around when he gets a hold of them. Sets with quickness, can move well, a to b, and into the second level.

Strong hands and has a solid punch. Mean pile pusher at the poa when his technique is sound. Technique has improved overall and has a lot of experience including both sides of the line.

Weaknesses:

Stiff, awkward and lacks balance. Struggles to recover from false steps. Doesn't consistently sustain. Is high too often and can get washed backwards. Pro wrestler mentality and draws fouls.

Overall:

Wright's a first off the bus bouncer with good upper body strength and decent mobility that relishes throwing guys out the club. At his best he sets well, gets a hold of guys and dictates confrontations.

Consistency, balance and technique are the issues. He's a tight, top heavy mover and struggles to recover from counters or good hand technicians.

He's a bully but gets high often and trashed on initial contact more than you would like. Projects as a starting RT with considerable upside but athletic technicians will work him.
