Scott Chandler is a 6'7" 270 TE that ran a 4.7....if that's slow, we're in really big trouble."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

He's not glacial, but he got converted from WR to TE because he's slow for a WR. He hasn't really grown into TE in terms of body type or aggressiveness yet, but he still could. He gets open and he has good hands though.Originally posted by TennesseePackerBacker</delurk>Comment

Strengths: Is a big, shifty back. Thickly built and runs with good pad level. Is compact and runs low to the ground. Shows very good body control and balance. Changes directions smoothly and does a good job of hitting the cutback lane on the backside. Is versatile and can contribute in the passing game in the NFL. Has soft hands as a short-to-intermediate receiver. Can adjust to the poorly thrown pass and shows good instincts as a route runner. Possesses good size and strength as a blocker. Is aggressive and shows the base to hold his ground versus bigger blitzing linebackers in pass pro.
Weaknesses: Durability is the biggest concern, as 2004 knee injury sidelined him for nearly two full seasons. Possesses marginal speed and does not breakaway acceleration when he reaches the second-level. He lacks elusiveness and will not make many defenders miss in space. Reliable as a receiver but not a homerun threat as a route runner or after the catch. A solid blocker but still can improve by polishing his technique.
Overall: Wright began his collegiate career at West Hills Junior College in 2002 where he played in eight games, rushing for 1,068 yards scoring 11 touchdowns. He then transferred to Fresno State for the 2003 season and appeared in all 14 games making eight starts. Wright finished the year with 1,038 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 190 carries (5.5 average) and caught 19 passes for 143 yards and one touchdown. In 2004, Wright started the first two contests but then tore his left patella tendon and missed the remainder of the season after carrying 50 times for 183 yards and two touchdowns. Wright also missed the entire 2005 season as a result of the same knee injury. He finally returned from his injury in 2006 and played in all 12 games, finishing with 261 carries for 1,462 yards (5.6 average) and 11 touchdowns and 29 catches for 221 yards and one touchdown.
Wright has the size, power and versatility to contribute as a reserve in the NFL, but his marginal speed and durability issues put a ceiling on his draft stock. Expect Wright to be drafted early on Day 2.
