The Miami Dolphins selected Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 120th overall.

The Dolphins sent the Philadelphia Eagles their third-round selection in the 2025 draft to select Wright, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Miami continues to add speed to an already dynamic offense. Wright, who recorded a 4.38 40-yard dash, joins a tailback group headlined by Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane.

Pre-draft profile

Wright is a big play waiting to happen. The Tennessee standout is the most explosive back in this class, threatening to take it the distance any time he gets his hands on the ball. But speed is only part of the equation - he also has the elusiveness to make defenders miss and create more yards for himself. Wright is inconsistent in reading plays between the tackles, and an upright running style keeps him from providing an element of physicality. But he's always going to make his greatest impact in space, and teams are constantly getting better at finding ways to utilize their most unique playmakers. Wright could be exactly that in the right offense.
