Rutgers WR Britt to enter NFL draft


PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers wide receiver Kenny Britt is taking his considerable talents to the NFL.

The junior announced his intentions Saturday to forgo his senior season and declare himself eligible for the draft.

The 20-year-old Britt had 87 receptions for 1,371 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008, including what proved to be the game-winner for the Scarlet Knights in a 29-23 victory over North Carolina State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl on Dec. 29.

"To tell you the truth, I was sitting on the fence," said Britt, who said he made the decision Friday following a two-hour meeting with family members and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano. "It's always been a dream to go to the NFL and the gateway is open, so I feel I want to take my chances and leave early."

Projected as high as a second-round selection, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound Britt wrapped up his three-year Rutgers career with 178 catches for 3,043 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Britt, who attended Bayonne High, also was second in the nation with an average of 114.2 yards per game, and is the career Big East leader in receiving yards.

Britt's 14 career 100-yard games are tied for the most in conference history with Pittsburgh's Larry Fitzgerald, now a star with the Arizona Cardinals.

hopefully us b/c i read an article of us scouting him a few weeks back.
 
It wont be us in the first round . . . possibly with that Washington second round pick . . . but he probably gets picked late first/early second.

i dont rem it was a month or so back but i konw miami and the colts were scouting him. there were 2 more teams i dont rem who the other 2 were.
 
i've got a feeling that like Crabtree,he's gonna do really good in the pros...and i certainly wouldn't mind him doing good with us...
 
Crabtree, Maclin, Harvin ,Nicks, Heyward-Bey, Britt.....
Look at last years draft...One of these guys WILL be available with the WAS 2nd rounder
 
brit is a great reciever and was always doubled covered this season but still managed to make playes my only knock on his is he does not have breakaway speed like his counter part tiaquan underwood

U pair him with a guy with world class speed like Ginn opposite of him . . . that should make a good combo . . . if we do go WR in this draft relatively early . . . there is 3 guys that stick out:

1. Crabtree - should be gone by the time we pick in round 1
2. Britt - Should be there with the Washington pick in round 2
3. Nicks - Should be there with our own pick in round 2

I still say we should wait until next year to get the big time wide out, but if the FO thinks that one of these guys is the truth, hey we make the move.
 
i been callin for this guy all year he is a monster and might end up being the best reciever in this draft class when its all said and done
