The scouting report on defensive back Dondre Wright — a GTA kid who decided this season to play for his hometown Argos — is that he’s aggressive when running to the ball, physical when matched up in coverage and plays on the edge when used on special teams.

Wright, who celebrated his 26th birthday on April 7, can attribute his football traits to his upbringing.

He is one of five boys, all of whom, save for one, were into sports from the time they were able to pick up whatever ball happened to be lying around in the Wright household.

“We were all into sports,’’ said Wright during a phone interview. “The one who didn’t play sports was into music. He was super-smart.

“You have a bunch of boys in the house and we were all competitive. There was a lot of energy because we were all so active.”

The Wright family moved from Toronto’s west end to Ajax in an era when the region wasn’t what one would describe as culturally diverse.
