NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kendall Wright calls the Tennessee Titans’ playbook big with a lot of plays, and it’s something very new to the wide receiver. Not because he’s a rookie and first-round draft pick.

It’s the first playbook Wright has ever had.

Wright played at Baylor where coach Art Briles uses practices, film study and meetings to teach plays signaled into the offense. Nothing was written down and bundled into a playbook of any form. When Wright played quarterback in high school in Pittsburg, Texas, he had no playbook there either.

Learning the playbook shouldn’t be a problem. Wright said Friday he memorized more than 300 plays at Baylor.

The Titans have 24 rookies in for two days’ of orientation and practices before the veterans return Monday to resume the offseason program.
