# Nahshon Wright

NFL cornerback. Position: **CB**. Team: **New York Jets**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Cornerback (CB)
- **Team:** New York Jets (2026)
- **Background:** Former Dallas Cowboy, Oregon State product
- **2025 Season:** Led NFL with 5 interceptions and highest turnovers forced (Chicago Bears)

## 2026 Outlook

Wright signed a one-year, $3.5M guaranteed deal with the Jets to help end their historic interception drought (zero picks in 2025). The cornerback led the league in turnovers forced last season and attributes his breakout to "confidence, consistent playing time and having a knack for the ball." He joins a rebuilt Jets secondary alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick and rookie D'Angelo Ponds under defensive coordinator Brian Duker. Wright was impressed with Ponds' coverage ability at minicamp, calling him "super sticky in coverage" (per Nahshon Wright ready to 'prove' himself and help Jets finally end interception drought).
