NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah names SEC standout top OT in the 2023 class

Tennessee offensive tackle Darnell Wright was nothing short of impressive in his time in Knoxville, something that looks to project to the NFL as he takes the next step in his career. So much so that NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah has named him the top player in the class at his position.

Jeremiah took to Twitter this week, impressed with the way Wright performed at the 2023 NFL Combine, noting his performance both in his final regular season and in offseason showcases.

Tennessee OT Darnell Wright keeps acing every test.
Excellent fall season vs elite comp ✔️
Strong all star game week ✔️
Impressive Combine workout ✔️

I think he belongs in the discussion as the top OT in this class.

Wright was a crucial part of propelling a practically unstoppable Tennessee offense that performed at a high level in both the run game and the passing game while protecting elite quarterback Hendon Hooker and how Wright continues to play a role in the NFL will be something to watch.
