AUGUST 18, 2025 • PEWTERREPORT.COM

Solid output in preseason debut Braswell recorded four tackles (two solo) in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.

Impact The 2024 second-round pick has had some eyes on him, as he dropped weight in an effort to gain quickness and it had translated well to the practice field in early camp practices. Braswell carried the momentum over into his first taste of game action, finishing tied for third in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers. Braswell figures in for a rotational role once again in his second season, but if he can continue displaying an improved feel for coach Todd Bowles' scheme, he should be in line for a boost on the 308 defensive snaps he logged across 17 regular-season games.

Refining game going into Year 2 Braswell has looked quicker in training camp after some offseason weight loss and is also working on several other aspects of his game, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Head coach Todd Bowles noted Thursday that Braswell's weight loss was made to translate to the field in terms of his quickness, and that strategy seems to have worked. Braswell is "coming off the ball a lot faster" than last season according to Bowles, who also said he sees the 2024 second-round pick starting to let his talent take over. Braswell spent the offseason working with fellow pass rusher Yaya Diaby, and Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports Braswell has also been working on his run defense and dropping into coverage.

Buccaneers believe draft class can help address needs on a defense that's lost some of its swagger

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are confident that they have a good chance to be better because of the players they took in the NFL draft

APRIL 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Can Chris Braswell Prove Jason Licht Right? Chris Braswell played sparingly as a rookie, but Jason Licht does not see that as an obstacle to take a big second-season jump.

FEBRUARY 26, 2025 • PEWTERREPORT.COM

Very quiet rookie season Braswell recorded 18 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The rookie second-round pick didn't come close to living up to expectations after finishing his college career at Alabama with 75 tackles, including 10.5 sacks, across 41 games. Braswell never topped four tackles in any game while playing 307 snaps in a rotational role, and he didn't record the first full sack of his career until Week 17 against the Panthers. Braswell posted just two total tackles and his fumble recovery from Week 15 through the wild-card loss to the Commanders, heading into the offseason on a particularly sharp downturn.
