Lions' Tim Wright hoping to make 'Wright Cut' on, off field

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Tim Wright had another nameplate at Rutgers, one he was as proud of as the one he had in the football locker room. On a black chair in the team's facility, there was a small white sign reading "Tim Wright, Team Barber."

Wright was a standout football player at Rutgers before heading to the NFL, where he finished his third season in 2015. He was also the team's official stylist. It's the pride in his skill with shears and buzzers that is leading to his second career. The 25-year-old is planning on opening his own shop, "The Wright Cut," at some point this offseason on the Livingston campus at Rutgers.
