2009 NFL Draft Prospects:
Kenny Britt Profile

Strengths: Big frame with solid bulk and long arms … Not a freak athlete, but he has adequate athleticism to be a playmaker … Consistent production statistically … Tough player who knows how to get off the line of scrimmage … Runs sharp routes … Rarely drops passes … Excellent on the fade route in the red zone … Can adjust to the ball in the air … Times jumps well … Catches the ball away from his body … Good speed after the catch … Gives effort as a blocker … Beat double teams often in junior season … Does not go down easily after first hit … Versatile as a solid deep threat, but can also make plays on screens.

Weaknesses: Does not have a second gear to beat safeties deep … Often shows great ability on route running, but does not give a great effort as much as you would want him to … Timed speed will go under microscope.

Summary: Britt is the prototypical possession receiver for a West Coast offense, but it will remain to be seen if scouts think he can be a No. 1 receiver. I think his route running and hands will lead him to be a solid receiver in this league. Ultimately, I have a first-round grade on him because he is so well-rounded, but I am not sure if he will actually go in the first round.

Player Comparison: Dwayne Bowe. Britt is slightly less athletic than Bowe, but both boast skill sets with minimal weaknesses. Both are elite threats in the red zone with their size and ability.
