Former St Louis Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon has said that signing Kenny Britt will provide a "huge boost" for the team's offense in the 2014 NFL season.

The wide receiver signed a one-year deal with the NFC West side earlier this year after coming to the end of his spell with the Tennessee Titans.

Witherspoon, who played with Britt at the Titans and spent 2013 with the Rams, told NFL Radio: "I think the addition of Kenny Britt will be a huge boost for the Rams offense. I expect him to blossom into a star."

Britt had just 96 receiving yards in 12 appearances for the Titans last season.
