Jarius Wright

It’s about time this guy got some love. Due to his body of work with the Minnesota Vikings, wideout Jarius Wright was thought to be a solid pickup in the offseason. Sunday, he proved he could be a key part of the Carolina Panthers wide receivers room.

Wright caught five passes for 62 yards and a touchdown. He showed he has the ability to spread the field, averaging 12.4 yards per catch. On a unit that is filled with talented wideouts such as Devin Funchess and Torrey Smith, Wright can sometimes be forgotten about as an option. Sunday however, he was very much involved in the offense.

The fact that Wright and the rest of the offensive unit performed so well gave fans something to be excited about. When the offense is clicking like it did today, this team is going to be very hard to stop. I expect Wright to build off this performance. I would look for him to have another solid showing against the Bengals on Sunday.
