Tennessee Titans’ wide receiver Kendall Wright was a big part of Marcus Mariota’s success in his NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wright hauled in just four catches, but ran for 101 yards and and scored on a 52-yard touchdown.
Wright led all wide receivers in yards per catch with at least four receptions with an average of 25.3 yards per attempt. The 25-year-old was a former first round pick of the Titans in the 2012 NFL draft and has had a very solid career thus far. Wright will likely be Mariota’s number one target in 2015 and will be a big part of the Titans’ offense.
