Like any rookie attending his first professional training camp, Dondre Wright has some questions but no concerns.

And after an exhaustive Tuesday that saw him travel by car from his home in Ajax, Ont., north of Toronto, to Bishop’s University in Lennoxville — and pass his physical — Wright was looking forward to a good night’s sleep before the Alouettes began their rookie camp Wednesday afternoon.

“I feel pretty good about where I’m at,” said Wright, who has been training since January and was Montreal’s third-round (20th overall) draft choice this month during the Canadian draft. “I think I’ll be pretty successful.

“Being away from home, for me, isn’t a problem. I’ve been in the States for seven years. I’m pretty confident in my ability to go out there and do what I have to do to contribute to this team.”

Wright, a 5-foot-11, 205-pound defensive back is expected to eventually play safety in the Canadian Football League, but also is talented enough to move down into the box and be used as a linebacker. The Als are seeking a safety after Marc-Olivier Brouillette signed with Saskatchewan as a free agent. Ryan Phillips, signed by Montreal as a free agent from British Columbia, could potentially replace Brouillette this season.
