You may see Ceyair Wright on the silver screen before you see him on the football field.<\/p>\n

The undrafted free agent cornerback has temporarily left the Bengals to \u201cpursue other opportunities,\u201d the team announced. The opportunity in question is the lead role in a film, per KPRC2\u2019s Aaron Wilson, with filming set to end in late October.<\/p>\n

Wright, whose resume includes a role in Space Jam: A New Legacy \u2014 where he played the older son of LeBron James \u2014 will be available to play then.<\/p>\n

For now, he\u2019s on the Exempt\/Left Squad List.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think two things he\u2019s really passionate about were colliding, and he decided to pursue this opportunity,\u201d Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters.<\/p>\n

Wright, who played college football at USC, was open going into the draft in saying that acting may continue to be part of his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to acting, who knows how that stuff will work?\u201d he told Yahoo Sports. \u201cOne day, if it makes sense, I can look into it, or down the line after I\u2019m done playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s not officially giving up football for this opportunity, it\u2019s hard to imagine there will be a large role waiting for him in Cincinnati given that Wright was already trying to make the team as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Taylor seemed to acknowledge that reality, speaking about Wright in the past tense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish him the best. He was fun to be around, he really competed hard for us. It was fun watching him play,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cBut obviously he\u2019s chosen to go a different path.\u201d<\/p>\n
