Randy Moss has said that Kenny Britt can become one of the best receivers in the NFL if he can find the right mental approach.

Britt, who was a teammate of Moss at the Tennessee Titans in 2010, has been involved in several off-field incidents since entering the league in 2009, including pleading guilty to a dangerous driving charge.

Moss, who currently plays for the San Francisco 49ers, told The Tennessean: "From what I have seen Kenny Britt do, man, if he gets his mind right, Kenny Britt can get up in elite class very quickly. I am a big fan of his.

"Kenny Britt is a young receiver who can get in that A.J. Green, Julio Jones mix if he wants to, and does the things to make it happen.

"But his [challenge] is more mental than it is physical. I hope it works out for him because he is quite a talent. That guy could be special."

The 24-year-old made 45 receptions for 589 yards and four touchdowns in 2012, having had three knee surgeries the previous year.
