Explosive Playmaking Ability<\/h3>\n

Miami drafted Jaylen Wright after trading up into the fourth round to select him with the 120th overall pick. The former Tennessee Volunteer was one of the most explosive playmakers in college. The speedster totaled less than 400 total touches in his college career but relayed those limited reps into big-time production<\/a>. In his final season, he averaged 7.4 yards a rush, good for fourth best in the entire country, and eclipsed 1,000 yards on the ground. His skill was on full display throughout the season against some of the nation’s top defenses.<\/p>\n
