15 bench reps. Not great for his size.

Wright seemed like a Browns pick from a value perspective.. He has the traits, age, relative athleticism and production but flew under the radar at UAB and was hurt throughout the combine/pre-draft process.. If he was healthy throughout the Combine and pre-draft circuit, I think he would have went higher..
This is right around where I expected Wright to go based off of his traits but rawness that still needs developed..

Small school. Limited quality competition. He's also 21 and generally pretty raw. Needs time and refinement.

Diamond in the Rough? How Alex Wright Compares to the NFL Draft’s Top Defensive Line Prospects | The Analyst
UAB's Alex Wright is not a household name among pass rush prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft. But does the data argue that he should be?
theanalyst.com
"He had a pressure percentage that comes out higher than that of the top dawgs like Aidan Hutchinson, Travon Walker, David Ojabo and Kayvon Thibodeaux, providing heat on opposing quarterbacks on 31.3% of his attempts.
Hutchinson was second in pressure rate at 30.8%."
--
"It didn’t stop as a pass rusher for Wright either, as he more than held his own against the run as well. Of the big names listed, Wright posted the highest run disruption rate at 18.7%. Hutchinson posted a run disruption percentage of 17.9%, Thibodeaux’s was 11.4%, and Walker’s was 12.9%."
--
"Even from the inside, where he played nearly 24.0% of his snaps in 2021, Wright put together a pressure rate of 35.5%(defensive tackles typically have a lower pressure rate than edge rushers).
His run disruption percentage hit 20.0% from the inside as well on 45 run snaps. On a much smaller sample size, Wright was even better when he was asked to slide inside."
