In two NFL seasons, Wright has played in 32 regular-season games and three playoff games, including 10 starts and Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots, and has 80 catches for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns..

With the Bucs as a rookie in 2013, Wright was the team’s second leading receiver with 54 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns.
