Scooby Wright can forever say he’s a champion.
The former All-American Arizona Wildcats linebacker delivered perhaps the biggest play of his professional career to clinch the Birmingham Stallions the inaugural USFL title Sunday night by picking off Philadelphia Stars quarterback K.J. Costello and returning the interception for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
The pick six proved to the difference as Birmingham held on to beat to Philadelphia 33-30 in Canton, Ohio.
Wright finished the game with three tackles in addition to the interception. He finishes the inaugural season of the USFL with 55 tackles in eight games.
