In August 2020, he became the youngest and first black team president ever hired by Washington Football Team President Paul Fusco; under his tenure, the franchise rebranded itself into Commanders while receiving praise for its leadership skills.

Wright discovered a passion for natural bodybuilding while on the show and soon started competing in competitions, becoming well-known within the fitness community and garnering many followers who followed his training regimen and diet plan. Yet despite his success, he remains true to his original goal of helping others realize their dreams.
Wright faces an impossible mission – ending the toxic culture created by Daniel Snyder’s ownership, winning back disenfranchised fans, and returning Washington to elite status. Although some progress has been made, new challenges still arise daily – though Wright remains confident that Washington will eventually regain their former glory.
Wright is also active outside his role with the team as a philanthropist and motivational speaker, business development consultant, and mentor for young entrepreneurs. He was born near Los Angeles to working-class parents (his mother was an airline flight attendant while his father was an activist in civil rights issues) who have both held prominent roles within society.

Hired in August 2020 to assist with their franchise’s rebranding into the Commander’s name in February 2022, he made history by becoming the first black and youngest team president ever hired within NFL history.
Wright has often criticized his hiring practices and some of his ideas, although they have failed to bear fruit. Yet, he refuses to let criticism derail his efforts and remains confident that under new ownership, the Commanders will make significant strides forward. Wright often joins Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris at games as part of their commitment to changing culture at Washington Stadium; team finances have improved since Snyder sold off the club; Harris may choose to keep Wright aboard as part of their turnaround plan.
