Ian Rapoport confirmed the news, as well as noting Wright has already had a visit with the Bears and will make a trip to see the Bills. 

All in all, Rapoport says Wright has nearly 20 visits with teams ahead of the draft at the end of April. 

Wright has been one of the biggest risers in the class over the past few months and seems likely to be a first-round pick. 

Teams can host up to 30 players for interviews and medical evaluations at their own facilities, with players who live or go to college in the local area not counting toward those top 30.

Wright, 21, played four years at Tennessee and was named first-team All-SEC as a senior in 2022. 

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler has Wright graded as his No. 24 overall prospect and No. 4 tackle. NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein compares him to former NFL OL D.J. Fluker.

During his four-year college career, Wright appeared in 47 career games and made 42 starts, including 27 at right tackle, 13 at left tackle and two at right guard.
