Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright is one of those players who flew under the radar until he didn't.
A third-round pick out of Oregon State, Wright spent his first three seasons in Dallas, where he participated in over 30 games. Like many young players in the NFL, with no extensions on the horizon and no guaranteed money to protect him, Wright found himself without a team for the 2024 season.
It's not as though Wright was dropped altogether. In August of 2024, Wright was traded to the Vikings, was waived a few weeks later, and was then re-signed to their practice squad.
