Who is Rodney Wright?

From the FanPosts  -Primetime

Is number 11 WR/KR Rodney Wright an arena league player who will be Kurt Warner or Bobby Sippio?  So far in camp, he's been making plays every day.  There are pics of an excellent catch demonstrating super concentration from Sunday after the jump.  Until a few days ago, he had no chance of making the team as far as I could tell.  Running backs may have a shot at 5'9", but a wide receiver?  Hmm. 

Anyway, since his name kept coming up in camp reports as a person making good catches, returning kicks and getting behind the defense, I thought a post that pulled together some facts and pics would be good.  If this flash in a pan makes it into one of the top three kick return possibilities, maybe we'll see some lightning during one of the first three pre-season games.

Rodney Wright had a nice catch on a deep ball under good coverage.  (Same play caught by CMatthews on camera from the stands.)

Is Wright a playmaker good enough to help the Chiefs win on Sundays?  Or camp star who's just not quite ready for primetime?  And can he beat out the rest of the pack in the punt return game, such as WR Bobby Engram, WR Quinten Lawrence, CB Maurice Leggett, CB Jackie Bates, RB Dantrell Savage, CB Londen Fryar and WR Taurus Johnson?
