YaYa Diaby is working with the former Alabama standout as outside linebackers for the Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Chris Braswell participates in a drill during mandatory minicamp on June 12, 2024, in Tampa, Fla. The Tampa Buccaneers selected YaYa Diaby in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft and got 7.5 sacks from the outside linebacker as a rookie.in the second round of this year’s draft and likely would be happy to get 7.5 sacks from another rookie outside linebacker for the second year in a row.“He’s doing well,” Diaby said about Braswell.
Braswell joined an outside-linebacker depth chart that also includes Diaby, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Randy Gregory. Diaby led the Buccaneers in sacks in 2023. Tryon-Shoyinka had five sacks in 12 starts last season. Former second-round pick Gregory has joined Tampa Bay for his eighth NFL season after recording 22 sacks with three previous teams.
“We’re already close because we’re both Muslims, so we share a little something-something,” Diaby said. “For me, it’s just going to be telling him to ease his mind because being in coach Bowles’ defense, it’s a lot that goes on for rookies, especially playing our position – if you got to drop, if you got to do this. It’s just really telling him to calm down and just be in the moment.”
