The Green Bay Packers continue to fine-tune their draft strategy as they prepare for the 2026 NFL draft. A recent move of hosting college star Chris Brazzell II suggests the team is taking a closer look at potential additions to its receiving corps.
The Packers and Brazzell have become a focal point after Green Bay hosted the Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver on a pre-draft visit. The meeting signals clear interest in a player who could help address depth following recent roster changes during the NFL offseason.
Brazzell emerged as a productive option at Tennessee, showcasing his ability to stretch the field and contribute as a downfield target. His combination of speed and size has drawn attention from teams looking for wide receivers capable of creating big plays.
Green Bay’s offense has emphasized versatility at the position, and Brazzell’s skill set aligns with that approach. His ability to operate in multiple roles could give the Packers added flexibility as they continue to develop their passing attack.

Green Bay has made a move ahead of the draft by hosting Brazzell. This is detailed more in a report by Evan “Tex” Western for Acme Packaging Company.
However, that leaves the receiver position as one where the team could use some help, both for the short and long terms. As a result, the Packers’ interest in the position in the 2026 NFL Draft is ramping up a bit, with the team bringing in a potential top-60 pick in for a pre-draft visit.
According to Ian Rapoport, Tennessee’s Chris Brazzell II is visiting the Packers this week in the midst of a busy visit schedule.
Brazzell, who is currently ranked 54th on the consensus draft board, is a tall, lanky deep threat who had a breakout season for the Volunteers in 2025. In his second season in Knoxville, Brazzell set career highs in every receiving category, posting 62 receptions, 1,017 yards, a 16.4 yards per catch average, and nine touchdowns. He also had a career game against Tennessee’s best competition in the fall, going off for six catches, 177 yards, and three touchdowns in a 44-41 overtime loss to Georgia.
The visit also comes at a time when the team is evaluating its long-term outlook at wide receiver. With opportunities opening up within the group, adding a player with Brazzell’s profile could provide both immediate impact and future potential.
As the draft approaches, the Packers appear focused on identifying players who fit their evolving offensive identity. Hosting Brazzell reflects a proactive approach as the organization looks to strengthen its roster for the upcoming season and beyond.
