Chalk up the Tennessee Titans as one of the teams that may be on Chris Brazzell’s wish list for the NFL Draft this spring. The Texas native originally went to Tulane for his first two collegiate seasons, but then transferred to Tennessee to play with the Volunteers for his final two seasons.
According to Brazzell, he’d love to continue making the Volunteer State his home state.
“I love the state of Tennessee, so that would be really fun,” Brazzell said of playing with the Titans during the NFL Combine.
Brazzell also has his eyes on the Titans’ talented quarterback Cam Warm. The former Miami signal-caller put together a nice debut season despite the team struggling around him.
“Cam Ward’s a dawg, probably the best quarterback coming out of that class,” Brazzell said. His comments reference a 2025 rookie class that included Jaxson Dart, Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Shough, Dillion Gabirel, and Quinn Ewers.

More From RTI: Former Vol’s Stock Continues To Rise After NFL Combine Showing
After racking up just 333 yards in his first season with Tennessee in 2024, Brazzell had a true breakout season in 2025 by more than tripling his previous season’s production. The Texas native burst out of the gates with new quarterback Joey Aguilar and had four 100-plus receiving yard games in Tennessee’s first eight contests. He was nearly unguardable in the Vols’ overtime loss to Georgia in November, going for a season-high 177 yards and three touchdowns on just six receptions.
Brazzell also posted 125 yards against ETSU, 105 yards against Mississippi State, and 138 yards against Kentucky. His nine touchdowns on the season were seven more than he had during the Vols’ 2024 campaign.
Brazzell was one of Tennessee’s seven representatives at the NFL Combine this week in Indianapolis and put together some nice moments. While he did not go through any of the on-field catching drills, Brazzell had a few standout stats. He posted a 4.37 40-yard dash time, which was ninth among all wide receivers.
The 6-foot-5 wide receiver has flirted with a first-round projection in a few mock drafts this offseason, but he’s mostly been on the outside looking in on the Top 32 picks. Perhaps his 40-yard dash time, plus whatever he’s able to show at Tennessee’s Pro Day at the end of March, is enough to make him a real consideration for a first-round spot.
With the NFL Combine wrapping up on Sunday afternoon, we should be getting a flood of new mock drafts over the coming days. Stay tuned to Rocky Top Insider to see the latest projections for Chris Brazzell and his Tennessee teammates this week.
