The Facts:
Wright, whom the Titans drafted from the 20th overall spot in April, is quickly delivering plays that Titans scouts and executives anticipated. "He's been great. He's been as advertised," Matt Hasselbeck said after this week's OTAs. "He's explosive. He's a great kid, he's a competitor. He's not a big guy, but he's been fun to have around. The rookie class in general, they've just been really hungry, going to work, humble. Kendall, because of the injury (to Kenny Britt), and Nate (Washington) have had great practices so far. It's great to see."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Britt is coming back off knee surgery for a torn ACL and MCL he suffered in Week 3 in 2011, and is targeting late preseason or the season opener for his return. Wright has been playing at the "X" position in the offense, which is where Britt plays, and may shift to other spots when Britt returns. Wright said the past three days of going against the defense have accelerated the learning process. "You can see it when the defense gets out there," he said. "It becomes easier when you do it - reading the defense and learning the routes you're supposed to run." Wright said Washington has been the receiver that he has peppered with the most questions. "If I have a question, the first person I'm going to right now is Nate," Wright said. You could do worse for a mentor.
