It's to bad people end up this way. I don't know the fix other than "moving" on from the past. A lot of people live in the past which isn't healthy. It's not just football players either.

I remember him and kind of hoping he'd be good but never panned out for the steelers.


Salute the nation
 
He was one of many on the list of non first round picks that you hope would pan out and never did and that list is really friggen long. I'm hoping Mason Rudolph will work out, but I'm not holding my breath. My guess is it will end up taking at least one first round pick.

Sask...IIRC Wright wasn’t drafted. When you mention list of non first round picks that never panned out, you centering on QBs hopefully? I remember him making it as the 4th QB (that hardly happens) but never thought he would sniff the Steelers squad with Kordell and Tomczak in front.

Tee Martin, Brian St. Pierre, Omar Jacobs, Landry Jones and at least one of the two backups on the roster. I thought Wright was drafted but I believe you are correct.
 
I don't even remember him; it's hard enough remembering the Tee Martins, Dixons, Pete Gonzalez's, Jim Millers, Kent Frankengrahams of the world.
 
I remember him. He had a really good arm with a really bad head. Couldn't read a defense and struggled with complex route trees. But he did have a heck of an arm.
 
Watched him at South Carolina. He was heralded as "the next Charlie Ward" coming to SC with Ward's former OC at FSU, Brad Scott, as the HC. He was solid with a big arm, but never quite seemed to wow anyone. I was always surprised that he was able to make the living he did in the NFL carrying the clipboard. A little like Charlie Whitehurst from Clemson in that sense.
 
He never dodged bullets properly.
 
I have hung out with him more than once. He is not a loud or aggressive person. I must put blame on the other guy. Anthony Wright is not a troublemaker..
 
The unfortunate chain of events started when Hooker showed up to drop off his daughter, leading to an altercation between the two men.
