The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Alabama defensive end Chris Braswell with the 57th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Braswell, known for his pass-rushing skills, recorded 13 sacks, 33 total pressures, and 10 quarterback hits last season. His performance also included an 18.2% pass-rush win rate. Despite having only two starts at Alabama, he managed to secure 8.0 sacks and three forced fumbles last year, tying for the most in the SEC. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, noted for his preference for strong pass-rushers, sees Braswell as a key addition to the team's defense. Nick Saban described Braswell as a 'really, really good player and a great pass rusher who can turn speed to power and makes some big-time plays.'
In addition to his 13 sacks last season, Braswell added 33 total pressures and 10 quarterback hits while posting an elite 18.2 pass-rush win rate. Tampa found the centerpiece for his pass-rush. #Buccaneers GRADE for @HeavyOnSports: https://t.co/5NfVIv9WIW
Nick Saban on Chris Braswell: "Bras is really, really a good player, a great pass rusher, can turn speed to power ... makes some big-time plays."
Bucs select Chris Braswell at No. 57. Bucs get their edge rusher. Very much wonder if it would have been Marshawn Kneeland had Dallas not selected him. Only had two starts at Alabama but mustered 8.0 sacks last year and his three forced fumbles were tied for most in the SEC.

Chris Braswell is my EDGE9. Great bend off the edge. Can dip around with good hand usage. Doesn't allow contact. Can get run through. Tackle technique is sloppy. Pass rush moves limited. Intriguing pass rusher for the #Buccaneers #HallamAnalysis
