Anthony Lavron Wright is a retired American football quarterback. He was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 1999. He played college football at South Carolina. Wright also played for the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants. Wright was signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 2000 after having made the Pittsburgh Steelers roster in 1999 as an undrafted free agent, where he was the team's fourth-string quarterback . He has played as a backup for most of his career, but has started many games in most seasons of play. In 2001, when Quincy... Carter was injured, Wright became his replacement, but would have a knee injury several weeks later and be replaced by Clint Stoerner. Dallas coach Dave Campo released Wright from the team at the end of the 2002 offseason following the acquisition of Chad Hutchinson in favor of keeping Stoerner for the third quarterback position, stating that Stoerner was better suited for the job, in light of Wright's ambition to be a starting quarterback. Wright was later signed by the Baltimore Ravens.
