Rutgers star wide receiver Kenny Britt made what was widely rumored official on Saturday - he's giving up his senior year of eligibility to go pro. At 6'4", 215 pounds and coming off an 87-catch All-America season, it seemed like a mortal lock that he'd opt for the NFL. Add in the fact that the quarterback next year will likely be one of two little-used fifth-year seniors - Jabu Lovelance or Dom Natale - and the decision becomes even easier to make.
Apparently, Connecticut running back Donald Brown - fresh off a ridiculous 261-yard rushing day in the International Bowl against Buffalo - has also made the same decision. (In the process, he did admit that his previous statements that he'd return for his senior year were, well, lies. Lying about one's status or the status of a team member is something Brown apparently got from his head coach.)
Again, I ask the question of LeSean McCoy - with the possibility of a rookie salary cap and the threat of career-altering injury (see McGahee, Willis) why in the world would you not take the money and run?
