#5 - Tevon Wright, WR, Alphas

Tevon Wright was the top target for the Alphas on offense throughout the 2021 Spring League season.

Wright caught 34 passes for 424 receiving yards during the season. What makes his stats even more impressive is that the Alphas struggled at the quarterback position all season long. Wright proved that it didn't matter who was throwing him the football. He produced consistently, irrespective of who the quarterback was.
