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
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
Projected third-round pick
Dane Brugler of The Athletic projects Brazzell to be selected by the Colts out of Tennessee with the No. 78 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Brazzell led the SEC in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns with 1,017 yards and nine, respectively, which makes him an appealing prospect for the third-round price tag. The 22-year-old brings an exceptional combination of height and speed that is desired for a boundary wide receiver, registering a 6-foot-4 frame and a 4.37 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine. The specific fit with the Colts is interesting given the team dealt away long-time veteran Michael Pittman, leaving the team's depth dangerously thin. Brazzell's projected skill set theoretically clashes with Alec Pierce, who the team gave a monster $30 million extension to this offseason.
