Scouting Report
Tennessee · 2026 draft class
Chris Brazzell II is one of the longest, most physically imposing receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft class-a 6'5", 200-pound vertical threat who moves with gazelle-like grace and unnatural quickness for his size. The Tennessee receiver has a professional pedigree in his bloodline (his father played in the NFL and CFL) and proved himself as a dominant SEC producer with 1,017 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns-the most in the conference in 2025. Originally a 3-star recruit who began at Tulane before transferring to Tennessee, Brazzell has explosive athleticism with field-stretching top-end speed that takes the top off defenses. His freakish movement skills are remarkable-he bends and sinks his hips like someone four inche's shorter with remarkable elasticity. He has the fluidity to stem defenders and sear into space, and when targets come his way, he has gravity-defying body control, elite hand-eye coordination, and box-out ability to come out on top. Per TruMedia, his catch rate over expectation is 22.5% with 11 catches over expectation total-few are better at hauling in low-probability, high-difficulty passes. His release package against press is solid with effective jab steps and clubs to clear defender's hands. He projects as a potential WR2 with the tools to eventually grow into a WR1 and impact starter.

Concerns
- Play strength can improve at 200 lbs-physical defenders disrupt timing
- Late hands on contested catches tip off defenders
- Push-offs create OPI risk when creating space with frame
- Lacks lateral agility and transitional fluidity for YAC
- Route tree predominantly vertical with limited intermediate variety
- Stemming ability and tempo leave more to be desired
- Speed not quantifiably elite despite vertical proficiency
- Lean frame vulnerable to handsy defenders
