Buccaneers' Chris Braswell: Records half-sack in win
Chris Braswell supplied three assisted tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and an additional quarterback hit in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.The sack of Spencer Rattler that Braswell shared with K.J. Britt served as the first QB takedown the rookie second-round pick has received credit for during his nascent career. Braswell logged 25 snaps overall, keeping him firmly in the rotational role he's been playing since Week 1. Braswell has only two multi-tackle tallies through six games thus far, however, so he still has a ways to go before becoming a reliable IDP option.

Buccaneers' Chris Braswell: Nabbed by Bucs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Chris Braswell in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 57th overall.Braswell is the latest Alabama defender to make it to the league. He is the fifth Crimson Tide player selected thus far. Braswell is an edge rusher who collected 8.0 sacks and 10.5 total tackles for loss as a senior. He can scream off the edge with 4.6 speed. Braswell lacks length (33.25-inch arms at 6-foot-3, 251 pounds), however, so bigger and more powerful offensive tackles could be a challenge for him at the next level. Still, he's a bendy and quick edge that was coached well in college and knows how to find the ball and make plays in the backfield. Given that Braswell is at his best in a two-point stance, he projects to challenge 2021 first-rounder Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for reps at outside linebacker.
