Assessment of note: “(Kendall Wright) is a very competitive football player, and he really wants to be good. That is his makeup. In terms of his actual ability, the explosiveness, you see that. You can’t help but see it. Speed, quickness, hands, run after catch, all of these are qualities that you can’t help but be impressed by. Regardless of what you see in a 40-yard dash, guys getting trained to basically run a track drill, you turn the film on of Kendall Wright and you see a very explosive player both vertically and laterally.” -- Salge after the Titans drafted Wright.
GM Ruston Webster says: “He brings us some youth. He has lots of energy, he’s a very hard worker. He’s done a good job through the years of really working his area. I know when he likes a guy that he’s done the work and I’m getting good information.”
