Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains both were happy with how the wide receivers performed during offseason workouts. ‘The receiving group has been fun to watch, the way they’re working in the run game and the pass game. We’ve drafted guys at that position the last few years and there’s great competition and camaraderie there. I think it was fun seeing [WR Kenny Britt] healthy and not having questions every day about his health, and seeing [WR Kendall Wright] lose 15 pounds and running out here like a guy who’s going to break a lot of runs next year. [WR Nate Washington] has had the best camp he’s had since he’s been here. He’s been a leader. He’s been everything you could ask for,’ Munchak said.
Titans | Coaches happy with WR corps
