Bills CB Shareece Wright Took $600 Uber from Chicago to NY for Voluntary Workout

Buffalo Bills cornerback Shareece Wright went to great lengths to make it to an optional workout with his new team Tuesday.

According to a late-night tweet from his agent, Tamerat Berhe, Wright took an eight-hour Uber ride from Chicago to Buffalo, New York, for the voluntary practice:

SB Nation's Jeanna Thomas obtained the receipt from the 542.9-mile voyage, and it cost $632.08.

Again, this was a voluntary practice.

Wright spent the last two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before being cut in March. It's safe to say he set the tone for his new team.

UPDATE: Thursday, June 8 at 1 p.m. ET

According to the Washington Post's Marissa Payne (h/t ESPN.com), Uber driver Hadi Abdollahian had a different destination in mind when picking up Wright.  

“He told me Buffalo and I thought he meant Buffalo [Wild Wings] grill,” Abdollahian said “So I said, ‘Yeah, for sure.’”

Nevertheless, the 26-year-old—a refugee who came to Chicago from Turkey four years ago—agreed to the longer journey.

“I promised him on the phone," Abdollahian told Payne, "so I said, ‘let’s hit the road.’ ”

Payne added that BlueRock Energy, sponsored by the Bills, matched Wright's $932.08 fare to thank Abdollahian.
