2026 Fantasy Outlook
Brazzell perfectly fits the archetype for University of Tennessee wideout prospects, standing 6-foot-4, 198, with standout production in his final collegiate season (62-1,017-9) and a strong 40 time (4.37) at the NFL Scouting Combine. He also seemingly comes with the same drawbacks as his predecessors -- none of whom have found much success in the pros. The Panthers have assembled an unusually tall WR room, at least at the top of their depth chart, but Brazzell is the only thin one. Coming in as the 83rd overall pick, Brazzell may initially challenge Xavier Legette for the No. 3 WR job behind returning starters Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year contract with the Panthers in May of 2026.
Chosen by Carolina
The Panthers selected Brazzell in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 83rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Brazzell posted an impressive 4.37-second 40-yard dash time at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, and that speed -- coupled with a 6-foot-4 frame -- served him well during his four-year college career. He spent his final two years in Tennessee and was named to both the All-American Third-Team and All-SEC First-Team in 2025 after catching 62 passes for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns across 12 games. Brazzell has no trouble getting to top speed, making him a dangerous deep threat that can win any jump ball, though his route-running tree and run blocking will both need to improve at the NFL level. With 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan leading the Panthers' pass-catching group, Brazzell's main competition for targets from QB Bryce Young will come from Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opens eyes this offseason
Brazzell, whom the Panthers selected out of Tennessee in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, made an impact during OTAs and minicamps this offseason, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The statuesque Brazzell has NFL bloodlines, considering his paternal namesake was a 1998 sixth-round pick of the Jets and played two seasons for the Cowboys in 1999 and 2000. The younger Brazzell played major college football at Tulane and Tennessee, and he wrapped up his four-year tenure at that level with a 62-1,017-9 line across 12 games in 2025 with the Volunteers. While some questioned the Panthers' decision to invest a third-round pick at a position where they already have Tetairoa McMillan, reports have suggested Brazzell looks ready to make noteworthy contributions in his rookie season.
