Kenny Britt would gladly trade in his Big East career receiving yards record for a national championship. "It's all about the team," he said.
Kenny Britt has already figured out how to win the Rookie of the Year award, and he wants it bad. "It's not hard. You catch three, four balls a game, 16 games, that's 60 catches. Average 15 yards a catch, that's right around 1,000 yards right there," he said.
So what is he? A person who cares about the team or another grade-A diva, a la Plaxico Burress or Braylon Edwards or Terrell Owens or (insert name of douche bag WR here). We haven't seen a flopper like this since John Kerry couldn't beat dubya in a debate in 2004. Some people will suggest to you the latter, as he was also suspended for an unspecified team violation by his coach for one game last year. One draft expert, Gil Brandt of NFL.com, has already nicknamed him "Hollywood." Since he isn't living in Hollywood, this probably isn't a good thing.
Britt does have some game to at least be a little cocky. He is the Big East's All-time leader in career receiving yards (eclipsing the former record set by some random guy named Fitzgerald) with 3,043 yards in 34 games. He also tied the school record for touchdown catches in a career with 17, and his 178 career receptions is good for fourth all-time in the Big East.
Britt had a solid sophomore season, but he really blossomed his junior season. His 114.25 receiving yards per game was second in the nation while his 87 receptions ranked him eighth nationally. He went for 100 yards in 8 out of his 12 games. He gained most of his yards over the middle using his tremendous height to his advantage while also using his excellent ball skills and strength. He wasn't the fastest player, but he was good at separating himself from the cornerback. For his outstanding season, he was named a third team All-American by the AP.
The Titans will look to use Britt right away. Their leading WRs last year were Justin Gage and Brandon Jones with 661 and 449 yards respectively. They traded for Nate Washington, who has been turning heads during OTAs and training camp. Justin Gage is one of the weaker (ok weakest) WR1s in the NFL, so both Washington and Britt will have opportunities to create separation. The Titans like to pound the ball with their Dash (Chris Johnson) and Dough-Boy (LenDale White) combo, but with the departure of phenom pass rusher Albert Haynesworth, the defense might not be as stout as last season's, and the Titans could to play from behind a little more this season.
Last year, the Titans threw for only 176.2 yards per game and 13 passing TDs overall, or a little less than Ladainian Tomlinson's total fantasy points. This put them 26th and 28th respectively in the league, and yet they went 13-3.
Kenny had a hamstring injury flare up during the course of OTAs, but he's young and should be able to work it out by the start of the season.
