Tennessee Titans: What to Expect from Kenny Britt in 2012

It's been a rough couple of seasons for the Tennessee Titans' star wide receiver Kenny Britt.

Despite Britt starting off his last two seasons in great fashion, he's failed to make it through more than 12 games since his rookie season.

Britt appeared in just three games last season, but was still very much on pace to have a 1,000-yard season if he could've stayed healthy.

In fact, Britt was on pace to finish with 1,033 yards in 2010 too, were it not for a hamstring injury that sidelined him for four games in the middle of the season.

The long recovery for Britt from his torn ACL and MCL is going very well, and he should be ready to go once training camp opens up in July. Britt has expressed that he feels better than ever right now to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

Even without Britt in the lineup, the Titans improved greatly in the passing game last season with Matt Hasselbeck under center.

All things considered, last season was a very productive year for the Titans' offense, but that's only the beginning with a healthy Britt in the lineup.

This team will put up a ton of points with Britt added back to the mix, assuming Chris Johnson can pull out of his slump.

Now that the Titans finally seem to have the kinks worked out at quarterback, it should mean career-best numbers for Britt in 2012.

Matt Hasselbeck is still the starter for now, but he'll have a little competition from Jake Locker in training camp. Britt's return also means great things for Jake Locker if he does take down Hasselbeck in training camp for the starting quarterback job.

Locker's ability to throw outside the pocket means that Britt will get ample opportunities to make plays on busted coverages that Locker forces.

A player with the size and talent that Britt possesses usually means a lot of red-zone looks, which leads to a lot of touchdowns.

Now Britt will have the chance to finish what he started last season, with nearly 300 yards in the first three games.

As long as Britt stays out of trouble and enjoys a little more luck concerning his health, 2012 could see the emergence of a new star wide receiver in the NFL.
