Major Wright was a ball-hawking, tone-setting safety for Florida
In the 2009 season, Major Wright gave Florida exactly what every elite defense wants from the back end: range, violence, and takeaways, finishing with 3 interceptions and building on a career known for 8 picks, 10 pass breakups, and 4 forced fumbles at UF.[3][8][12] He was the kind of safety who could erase mistakes over the top and also trigger downhill in the run game, making him a fit for teams that value instinct, contact, and disruptive play over flash.[3][8]
