Panthers Snag Speedster Brazzell in Draft

0:00On April 25th, Panthers GM Dan Morgan swung for the fences in the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing wide receiver Chris Brazel the second with, the 83rd overall pick, this 6'4-198-pound speedster from the University of Tennessee looks like a perfect fit to stretch the field for. Carolina? Brazel started his college ball at Tulane University, where he played two seasons before transferring to Knoxville ahead of 2024. The Fort Worth native showed flashes early on, building a solid foundation there. At Tennessee last year, he exploded with 62 catches for 1,017 yards in nine touchdowns, earning first team all SEC honors. While averaging 16.4 yards per grab, that kind of production turns heads quick. Carolina met with him during the pre-draft process, and he backed it up at the NFL scouting combine in February, blazing a 4.37 in. The 40 yard dash, pure burner potential.
