DaeQuan Wright, Cleveland Browns rookie tight end, is rewriting NFL history by becoming the first active player to re-enter the NCAA transfer portal—thanks to a court order loosening eligibility rules for 2022 recruits. With his pro career potentially on hold, Wright joins a growing group of NFL players, including Seahawks RB Anthony Hankerson and Bucs pass rusher Jack Pyburn, in a high-stakes legal battle over college eligibility. The financial lure of Name, Image, and Likeness deals could outweigh practice squad pay, fueling the debate. A critical August 31 hearing looms—if the ruling falls, these athletes could be stripped of eligibility mid-season, leaving them without a team. Wright, who amassed 1,600+ yards and 9 TDs in college, now eyes the 2027 draft while his future hangs in the balance.
