Wright Fighting Depression, Early Entry Decision

Jesus Muck, you scared me, I thought we had another nut case on our hands.

After reading the article I feel much better. He's just going through almost normal maturation in this transition. I agree that next year he'll be ready to really start playing like a pro.
 
That's bad news actually.
Although Wright is fighting through it, moving here and knowing no-one, whilst also wanting to be back at school and being the laughing stock of the nation for a day carries a lot of weight for a long time.
Depression is also pretty bad and hard to get out of, hopefully he can get into the lineup sometime this year and get his confidence up with a good showing.

Seems like he's coming around, but he's still in the process. It's almost like a progress report. I think he'll be in a much better place next year.

You know I like this kids approach. He's finding strength from his darkest moment. Not all of us can do that. I like his initial burst off the line. Now he needs to get even tougher and work on technique. He just may start next year if he can put it together.
 
That was a good read. I really think he's going to be a good player for us.
 
Man, it was tough being in my early 20's. Not sure I would have had the perserverance and maturity to go about getting it done like this kid is. I think he will be a nice pick up in the long run. Have to wait and see how he hits Training camp next year.....

I like the thought (on paper).... but, I'm not happy until our QB of the future (drafted) is on the team next year.

DT's can't throw the ball....AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. We have been farting around for 6 years now screwing off at finding Dan's true successor.

You have to think about both sides of the ball. Saban and Mueller (spelling) will get the QB situation taken care of next year. Now we have Wright and Vickerson, Next year (hopefully) we get Ngata, and our D line will be light out.
 
good read. i hope everything works out for the best, not just cause im a phin fan, but he seems like a really good kid.
 
Poor baby.......

I was in a brutal cut-throat profession by the time I was 18. Sometimes you get what you ask for and he got it. I dont think Saban would have wasted any time selecting him if he didnt see alot of potential in him. So there is hope.
I just dont want to read how depressed he is or how rough it is to go to the NFL. Dont want to hear it for a second.

Thinking you're putting too much faith in Saban. This aint College no more.

While completely my opinion, I think the article made me wonder if he is always going to have problems with depression. It's just the feeling I got from reading it.

If he doesn't start moving forward, the past is going to eat him up. Depression can get a grip on you that never lets go. Is he always going to struggle with it?
