**2024 Performance:** As noted above, Britt came into the 2024 campaign as a Day One starter for the first time in his career. He started the first 11 games of the season, though his playing time fluctuated from game to game largely based on the types of offenses the Bucs were facing. For the first month of the season, Britt was sharing the linebacker role next to David with second-year player SirVocea Dennis, who was considered a better option in obvious passing downs. After Dennis landed on injured reserve due to a shoulder ailment, Britt saw his defensive snap percentage rise close to 100% during the middle of the season.
An ankle injury caused Britt to miss three games, and upon his return he was used in a more limited role and did not log anymore starts through the last two games of the regular season and the Bucs' lone playoff contest.
Britt finished the season with a career-high 72 tackles, including two tackles for loss. He also contributed one pass defensed, one quarterback hit and half of a sack. In the playoff game against Washington, he recorded five more tackles.
**Career Accomplishments:** Britt played 59 games over his first four NFL seasons, starting 15 of them. He racked up 126 tackles, four tackles for loss, two QB hits, three passes defensed and 0.5 sacks. He also appeared in six postseason games made 22 tackles to go with one tackle for loss and one pass defensed.
Before moving into a larger role on defense near the end of 2023 and through much of 2024, Britt was a cornerstone player on special teams for the Buccaneers. He peaked at an 80% snap share in 2022, his second season. Over his first three seasons, Britt amassed 21 tackles in kick coverage.
