2009 NFL Draft - Eben Britton Scouting Report
by Clint Clearwater
NFL Draft Analyst


Prospect: Eben Britton, OT, Arizona
Ht: 6’6  Wt: 309 40: 5.19

Strengths: Great frame.  Tough and very physical playing style.  Rarely gives up on plays.  He is very quick for his size, and has great balance and agility.  Has good footwork.  Great awareness.  He is a very well-rounded prospect.  He can pass block as well as run block.  He has a great initial push in the run game.  Can use his hands pretty well.  Does a great job of blocking in the second level.  Has a lot of experience. Is a hard worker and is a great leader.                 

Weaknesses: Needs to improve his pulling techniques.  Could improve on his strength (24 reps on the bench at the combine).  Is said to have short arms for an OT.  His lateral movement will be an area of concern; he is often beat from rushers off the edge because of this.  He will take time to develop into his potential.      

Summary: Britton is a well-rounded prospect.  He can pass block and is a great run blocker.  However, he will need time to develop to be a good offensive tackle in the NFL.  I love watching his initial push in run blocking and how he gets into the second level.  He is a great worker and a good leader.  He needs improvement in strength and his lateral movement.

Draft Projection: 1st round
