2021 has been a pretty remarkable year for former Auburn football defensive star K.J. Britt.
After opting out of the final two games of the 2020 Tigers season–one that was going nowhere fast after the team lost to South Carolina and was beaten soundly by Georgia, Alabama, and Texas A&M–Britt decided to focus his attention on the Senior Bowl and his 2021 NFL Draft goals.
Well, that decision to skip the Kevin Steele-coached Citrus Bowl loss to Big Ten powerhouse Northwestern was a good one, seeing as how Britt has joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the defending Super Bowl LV Champions and a strong frontrunner in 2021-22 to repeat given their retention of every single offensive starter.
