In addition to having a strong claim as the best wide receiver in Arkansas history, Jarius Wright is also the Razorbacks’ most successful pro at the position in the modern era.
For eight seasons, the Warren native carved out a role as a reliable receiver with a knack for grabbing third-down passes that moved the chains for both the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers.
Despite being just 5-foot-10, 190 pounds and a fourth-round draft pick, Wright managed to rack up 2,782 career receiving yards — the most by a wide receiver out of Arkansas since Lance Alworth’s Hall of Fame career ended in 1972.
