When the NFL didn’t pan out for Scooby Wright III he turned to an alternate league. And another. And another.
Turns out fourth time has been the charm for Wright, who as a member of the Birmingham Stallions will play for the USFL title next week. His team beat the New Orleans Breakers 31-17 on Saturday night in Canton, Ohio, setting up a July 3 championship battle against the Philadelphia Stars.
The 28-year-old linebacker had five tackles (one solo) in the win over New Orleans. For the season he’s registered 57 tackles in eight games, including three sacks.
