Rutgers' Britt to visit Giants


Kenny Britt, a big an intriguing receiver out of Rutgers, is scheduled to pay a visit to the Giants tomorrow.

Britt, who checks in at 6-4, 215, finished his three-year career with the Scarlet Knights as the Big East’s all-time leading receiver (178 catches, 3,043 yards, 17 touchdowns). The Bayonne, N.J., native was dominant as a junior last season, catching 87 passes for a Rutgers record 1,371 yards.

The 20-year-old Britt will have a private meeting and workout for Giants officials at the Meadowlands, a Rutgers source told the Daily News’ Ebenezer Samuel. I had previously heard the Giants view the big, physical receiver as more of a second-round possibility than someone they’d consider with the 29th overall pick of the first round. But that could certainly change, depending on how many receivers are taken in the first 28 picks.

Britt is considered by most scouts and draft experts to be in the second tier of draft-eligible receivers behind Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech) and Jeremy Maclin (Missouri). Where exactly he fits in with Darrius Heyward-Bey (Maryland), Hakeem Nicks (North Carolina) and Percy Harvin (Florida) is debatable. I’ve seen Britt projected to go everywhere from the middle of the first round to the top of the third.
