Chris Brazzell

● Tall, angular athlete with above-average speed ● Smooth, effortless acceleration makes him a legit vertical threat ● Tough for defenders to recover once he gains a step and hits his stride ● Attacks the stem and runs full speed at corners to separate out of his break ● Downfield tracking skills make him an accomplished deep-ball target (caught 13 of 23 targets of 20-plus yards in 2025) ● Large catching web because of his body length and ability to work back toward the ball ● Climbs the ladder with leaping skills and focus to secure the football mid-air over defenders ● Efficiently able to collect, sink and cut on hitches, digs and outs without losing balance ● Strengths as a receiver make him productive in the high-red zone ● Only SEC wide receiver in 2025 with 1,000-plus receiving yards and seven-plus touchdown grabs

● Narrow waist with thin wrists/ankles and marginal mass (only player at the combine 6-4 or taller but under 200 pounds) ● Needs to improve savvy in the quick game ● Mediocre production with the ball in his hands ● Bad habit of unnecessarily jumping at the catch point to secure catches ● Upright off the line; needs to be more of a technician vs. physical jams ● Has some blocking snaps, but too many negative reps in screen game ● Barely moved off the line on some run plays in Tennessee’s offense ● Zero special teams experience on college resume ● Arrested for speeding (60 MPH in a 35 MPH zone) and driving with a suspended license (Aug. 2025) — charges were later dismissed

A two-year starter at Tennessee (and three-year starter overall), Brazzell was an outside receiver (exclusively to the right of the formation) in head coach Josh Heupel’s up-tempo spread scheme. (He saw one target to the left of the formation in 2025, and it resulted in a drop.) Brazzell put himself on the NFL radar at Tulane before showing improvements over the past two seasons in Knoxville. He led the SEC in receiving yards per game (84.8) and receiving touchdowns (nine) in his final season (although seven of those TDs came in September). Brazzell gets to top speed in a hurry to stack corners on his hip and keep them there. He can sink to smoothly get in and out of breaks, although scouts want to see him improve his consistency on intermediate routes and expand his route menu in the NFL (48.7 percent of his routes in 2025 were either a hitch or go). He is at his best using his tracking skills and length to be a jump-ball winner down the field. Overall, Brazzell still has a long way to go before becoming a complete receiver, but he is a long-striding athlete and dangerous vertical threat with surprising savvy for his size. He has the talent to become a team’s No. 2 or No. 3 option.
