Titans’ Kendall Wright And Justin Hunter React Unhappily To Mariota Pick
Well, training camp is going to be awkward between wide receivers Kendal Wright and Justin Hunter and the Titans’ new franchise QB Marcus Mariota.
The above video shows the two receives hanging out with fans, watching the draft at LP Field. But the instant Mariota’s name was called, Hunter sits down and Wright just gloomily shakes his head.
Now, the big question is what does their body language tell us? Are they unhappy because they do not like Mariota or did they think that Zach Mettenberger was the future?
Titans beat writer, Jim Wyatt, gave us his two sense on the matter via Twitter.
I'm hardly surprised by reaction. Wright & Hunter friends w Zach Mettenberger & they've freely admitted it. They've never met Marcus Mariota

Guys in an NFL locker room have each other's backs. Guys like Mettenberger. They'll learn to like Mariota, too #Titans
