Broke and depressed, Wright was in a dark place while seeking purpose in the second chapter of his life beyond football.

ā€œFootball was my identity,ā€ Wright said. ā€œIt was who I was. So at one point I was confused. I was just on this earth, living, and at one point I did not want to be on this earth because of how things were going.ā€

A new calling came four years ago, one thatĀ transformed Wright’s outlook and spawned a passion to help others.
