Horton is a fluid, vertically-inclined perimeter receiver with natural ball-tracking skills, advanced body control, and consistent production. He thrives on the vertical plane, making him best suited as a Z-receiver in a West Coast or Air Raid scheme that capitalizes on his deep ball skills and clean releases against off-coverage. He must improve his route diversity, physicality at the top of routes, and blocking ability, but offers WR3 upside with vertical-threat utility and special teams return value.
