Jeremiah Wright has received immense interest from the New Orleans Saints during the pre-draft process in 2026, and during the draft, he ended up being selected by them in the fourth round. With the Saints having a need at right guard if Cesar Ruiz continues to struggle, Wright could fill the gap. He was absolutely thrilled to be joining the Saints, which was clear from both the video of him being called and his message to fans.
Every offseason, the teams around the league send out videos of their war room, including their front office having their first discussions with each player selected right after the pick occurs. Wright had his post quite quickly, as New Orleans does a great job with their media and gets everything out in a reasonable time frame.
It is quite easy to tell from his initial reaction how much this moment truly meant to Wright, as he now enters the NFL and continues to build on a productive collegiate career. Take a look at the video of the moment he got the call here on the Saints page:
