Other information
His Draft Scout page shows he is not speedy, running the 40 in between 4.6 and 4.8 seconds.
According to a story by 12News in Phoenix, Braswell was not able to go home to celebrate getting signed by the Cardinals. His father contracted COVID-19 and did not pick up the phone when he called to break the news.
Then he thought he was joking.
He also picked off Joe Burrow in high school during a state championship game.
