Playing profile of former NFL tight end George Wrighster

George Wrighster was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth round (104th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft out of the University of Oregon. He played six seasons with the team before being released on April 3, 2009. He often showed flashes of greatness, but missed 30 games due to injury. Wrighster then moved on to the New York Giants but was waived before ever getting on the field.

Wrighster has recently joined the sports broadcasting arena with Fox. Beginning in September 2014, George hosted a Los Angeles-based daily afternoon radio show called “The Drive” on The Beast 980 KFWB. In August 2015, Wrighster debuted on Fox Sports 1 as a sports analyst and opinionist on such shows as “Fox Sports Live Countdown” and “Kickoff To Countdown.’ He has also been the game analyst for multiple games on ESPN3 and FS1.
