Chris Brazzell II looks to continue the longstanding tradition of overdrafted University of Tennessee receivers failing to make an impact in the NFL. Heupel definitely has a type, and Brazzell may be the best of the tall, lanky, fast receivers that Tennessee has produced lately. Brazzell is a very dangerous deep threat with his elite speed and ability to quickly get off the line of scrimmage. I enjoyed watching him block as well, you can tell he cares about being a bully and imposing his will.

Brazzell's analytical profile is thin beyond his size, speed, and outside alignment. He's not a reliable contested catch receiver despite his frame, and his efficiency metrics across the board are underwhelming. Brazzell II projects to be drafted as high as early in the second round of the NFL draft, which should lead to opportunities, but our pre-draft score for him doesn't exactly inspire confidence. He falls into the category of players you're comfortable letting your league mates take a chance on, and you'll live if you're wrong.

Film Notes

• Very specific archetype of receiver that has not translated well to fantasy production, first few years in the league will mainly be spent as a deep threat
• Tall, fast, lanky receiver that is probably the best deep threat in this class, hard for corners to contest him downfield
• Shows good effort while blocking, can be a people mover on the perimeter
• Lack of fluidity in his hips, doesn't run great routes and has a limited route tree
• Won't offer much in the YAC department
