Britton showcases elite route-running ability, consistently creating separation with sharp cuts and fluid transitions. His knack for selling vertical routes before breaking into curls or outs keeps defenders off balance and opens up opportunities downfield.

The junior wide out displays strong hands and excellent ball-tracking ability, making him a reliable target in all areas of the field. His body control allows him to adjust mid-route and come down with contested catches, even in tight coverage.

Once the ball is secured, Britton becomes a serious threat after the catch. His agility and field vision enable him to turn routine plays into explosive gains, contributing to his impressive 70.5 yards per game average.

He’s willing to go across the middle, absorb contact, and make plays in traffic. His physicality complements his technical skill set, rounding out a receiver who brings both grit and intelligence to the game. With his blend of athleticism, awareness, and competitive edge, Britton is poised to make an immediate impact at the next level.
