08:08 AM ET 05.11 | Now all of 23, Kenny Britt, with surgery and brushes with the law behind him, may have turned a corner of sorts -- at least Tennessee fans can hope so. "I knew I had to change some things in my life. I think I've matured. I hope I have matured. But the smile is still there and it's not going away." ... [Britt] has had an incident-free offseason after he had seven involving police in his first two NFL seasons. That earned him a trip to New York to see NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. ... Those who know Britt say he made a concerted effort to change, partly by changing things around him. The trips back home to New Jersey, where he often found trouble, are now few and far between.

We can only hope that he has his head on straight....great athelete....Kendall Wright could be the one to push Britt to the next level of receivers.........another weapon for Matt or Jake.... Locker.....

Can only hope the best for him. I'm leaning toward the fact that he's not being quite as blatant with his stupidity though.

If he has grown up, then good for him.

The kid is pretty damn good on the football field. If he can be that good off the field, then even better.

Britt is an elite WR if he can stay out of trouble and stay healthy.

So now we are supposed to congratulate this kid for doing what he is supposed to do? Don't get why it's so hard for these idiots to stay out of trouble.

He thinks he's matured .........he has no clue if he has or not.

Probably just as much as Pacman Jones was during his stint with the Titans.......

Let's see. What's happened with Pacman Jones, or what's his name in Chicago now? He'll get shuffled around from team to team like all the usual suspects.
