NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kendall Wright had a unique freedom in the 2013 Tennessee Titans offense.

He was not held to the same expectations for precision routes. Because he was a unique player who could get to the right spot at the right time, coaches gave him leeway in the means he took to get there.

But that has changed under Ken Whisenhunt and his staff.

"However they tell me to do it, that's what I'm going to do," Wright said via John Glennon of The Tennessean. "I'm a receiver and I adjust to whatever they want me to do. I don't have to play the way I was playing last year as far as what everybody calls 'streetball.' … He tells me he wants this route run like this, that's how I'm going to do it."

The Titans also have asked Wright, who was 15 pounds lighter in his second season than his rookie year, to drop a bit more weight. He’s down to 184.

Is there a bit of risk in asking for two big changes from Wright when he caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards last year?

He’s adaptable, as he said, and I don’t foresee anything slowing his ascent.

He had that big season with the Titans not sending him deep very often and hardly looking to him in the red zone.

That should change under Whisenhunt, who believes those other changes will help, too.
