Where Did Chris Brazzell Project in Our 7-Round NFL Mock Draft?
In the latest mock draft from Pro Football Network NFL Draft Analyst Ian Cummings, Brazzell was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the third round. The Bengals have yet to sign Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to long-term deals, which could create an opening for Brazzell.
“Chris Brazzell II has been slow to produce in 2024, but he has rare size-adjusted fluidity at 6’5″, and his catching instincts would fit well with Joe Burrow.”

Let’s dive into some of the key points from Cummings’s profile on Brazzell.
Son of a former CFL star wideout and New York Jets 1998 sixth-round pick of the same name, Brazzell is on track to solidify that legacy on the professional stage.
A three-star recruit out of Midland Legacy High School in Midland, Texas, Brazzell joined Willie Fritz’s 2022 recruiting class at Tulane. He caught just one pass in 2022 before redshirting due to a shoulder injury. And he opened 2023 strictly as an ancillary weapon.
Things would soon change, however. Over the course of the 2023 campaign, Brazzell became a premier playmaker for Michael Pratt and Co. In 13 games, Brazzell caught 44 receptions for 711 yards and five scores, eclipsing 16.0 yards per catch.
Brazzell ultimately leveraged his performance as a redshirt freshman into a transfer opportunity at Tennessee, where he’s enjoyed the opportunity to play with one-time five-star quarterback and potential 2026 NFL Draft prospect Nico Iamaleava.
Brazzell’s 2024 campaign has gotten off to a relatively slow start. In three weeks, he’s recorded 10 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Tennessee’s offense, but Brazzell has maintained a presence, nonetheless.
In spite of his non-elite production, the sky is the limit with Brazzell’s tools. He has a unique skill set for his size, and that skill set could, in turn, make him a valuable weapon at the NFL level. His scouting report has all of the minute details.
