While at Notre Dame it was hard to envision tight end Brock Wright doing a whole lot in the NFL. Wright had just one touchdown catch in 48 games, catching seven passes in total for all of 78-yards.
Fast forward three years and Wright has earned a rather big NFL pay day with the Detroit Lions. Wright, a restricted free agent following the 2023 season, signed an offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers that the Lions matched. That will pay him up to $12 million.
In three seasons with the Lions, Wright has hauled in 43 receptions for 424 yards and seven touchdowns. Not bad for a young man who had trouble finding targets at Notre Dame. Then again, seeing as Alize Mack, Cole Kmet, Tommy Tremble, and Michael Mayer were all playing the same position those days the lack of targets is easy to understand.
