Eric Wright Says He Got Death Threats From Fans


Browns cornerback Eric Wright, who received a second-round tender from the Browns on Thursday, is determined to rebound from his poor 2010 season and the sting of death threats from fans according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer. “I went from people expecting me to be a top cornerback in the league to receiving death threats,” Wright said. “It was a lot to deal with.” Wright never reported the death threats to the Browns or police, attributing them to the extreme passion of Browns fans. “I wasn’t fearing for my life,” he said. “As serious as a death threat may be, I wasn’t going to let a few bad apples ruin the whole tree.”
