Destry "D-Train" Wright (born July 9, 1977) is a retired American football player.
At Jackson State, Wright set the team's three-season career rushing record of 4,020 yards, running 1,614 yards and 12 touchdowns in his last season.[2] Wright also held the record as the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s all-time leading rusher.[3]
As an un-drafted free agent, Wright "officially" played one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, though he was not able to play any regular-season games due to an injury suffered in a pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys on July 30, 2000. Wright dislocated his right ankle and broke his right leg in an injury that gained widespread publicity after an on-field photo was published showing both of Wright's feet pointing in two different directions.[4]
