Tennessee Vols offensive lineman Darnell Wright just wrapped up a week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL as he continues preparing for the 2023 NFL Draft.

The majority of the feedback from Wright's performance at the Senior Bowl was overwhelmingly positive. It feels like Wright boosted his draft stock at the Senior Bowl.

But apparently, not every reporter/draft analyst agrees.

On Tuesday, Wright took to Twitter to fire back at reporters who have "no idea".

"The amount of 'reporters' that 'report' on offensive line play and have no idea what they are looking at is astounding," tweeted Wright.

There's a lot of noise out there right now when it comes to the 2023 NFL Draft. And admittedly, it's nearly impossible to keep up with everything that everyone says about Wright and other former Vols that are draft eligible.

I haven't seen much negativity floating around when it comes to Wright. But it sounds like there must be some out there — Wright isn't the type of guy to tweet nonsense

And by the way, he's right about reporters dissecting offensive line play — there are a lot of bad takes out there. It seems like reporters/analysts sometimes feel like they have to point out negatives — or things they think are negatives — to be taken seriously by other reporters/analysts.

Whatever the case, all that really matters is what NFL teams think. And it certainly sounds like a number of NFL teams like what they saw from Wright last week at the Senior Bowl.
