THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- John Fassel, the Los Angeles Rams' interim coach, spoke to Kenny Britt over breakfast on Monday morning and was stunned to learn this is the first 1,000-yard season of his career. All those years in the NFL, all those years as a primary target -- Fassel thought Britt would have reached the coveted mark at some point over the last seven seasons. But Britt didn't even reach 800 yards during that time.
It's a circumstance that runs nearly parallel to that of the Rams.
Drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2009 then signed by the Rams in 2014, Britt is the franchise's first 1,000-yard receiver since Torry Holt in 2007, which is nothing short of amazing.
