Rayfield Wright

Minnesota Vikings Carl Eller once offered about Rayfield Wright: "An all-day fight with
Rayfield Wright definitely is not my idea of a pleasant Sunday afternoon. I think he
is pretty much a composite of an all-pro tackle. He has size, strength, and quickness.
The big thing in Rayfield's favor is that he has a lot of range. He moves faster than
most tacklers. He's just difficult to play against."

And his coach, longtime Cowboys offensive line coach Jim Myers, summarized Wright's
overall career this way: "We tried to make a tight end out of Rayfield. Then we tried
him on the defensive line. And then he made a great coach out of me."
