I remember him coming in as a not-highly-recruited nobody, and even at MSU (while a standout player) no one thought he would be a real NFL player. Am I remembering that right?
He's certainly done well for himself. He was always freakishly athletic. And long.

You may be confusing him with Benardrick McKinney - I think we were his only offer out of high school. Wright was more highly recruited but still only a 3-star, he was a Croom signee.

Both were decent draft picks, but yeah - KJ has had a heck of a career.

No he had other SEC offers, I believe from Auburn and a few others. He was then drafted high in the 4th round, so people thought he could play. I will say he has exceeded expectations in the pros.
