Wright, a fourth-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, became one of the most dependable linebackers in Seahawks history. He led the team in tackles in both 2014 (107) and 2015 (116) and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2016. Wright was nominated Seahawks Man of the Year in 2018 and tied for the team lead with three interceptions in 2019. In 2020, he received the Steve Largent Award for his contributions on and off the field. Wright's 11 career forced fumbles are tied for ninth-most, and his nine career fumble recoveries are tied for eighth-most in franchise history. With 934 tackles, he ranks third all-time for the Seahawks. Across 144 games, of which he started 140, Wright appeared in two Super Bowls, including the Seahawks' victory in Super Bowl XLVIII. After 10 years in Seattle, he played one final season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Wright retired as a Seahawk in July 2022, signing a one-day contract. He returned that fall to raise the 12 Flag before Seattle's home opener against the Denver Broncos. In 2024, Wright joined the San Francisco 49ers as a defensive quality control coach.
