Cincinnati Bengals backup cornerback Ceyair Wright reportedly left the team for a lead role in an upcoming movie.
According to KPRC-2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson, Wright was offered a “lead role in a big movie that he couldn’t pass up” before departing Cincinnati. Once filming ends in October, he’ll look to return to the NFL.
Wright already has acting experience, playing LeBron James’ son in the 2021 movie Space Jam: A New Legacy.
