Former Tennessee Vols offensive tackle Darnell Wright is known for punishing opposing pass rushers and playing with a "nasty" attitude.
Wright, the No. 10 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, is a tremendous athlete, which is part of the reason why Chicago is trusting him to protect quarterback Justin Fields this fall.
The former Vol showed off that athleticism recently on the basketball court. And not just any basketball court — Wright showed off his basketball moves at the United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls.
Check it out:
Wright has some skills — he can handle the ball and he drained that step-back jumper (from way downtown, too).
The West Virginia native probably won't get too many chances to hit the court — the last thing the Bears want is for him to get injured away from the field — but if there's ever a pickup basketball game between Chicago players, I'm betting Wright, AKA Rocky Top Jokic, will be one of the first players picked.
