Solid second season Diaby provided 54 tackles (39 solo), including 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The 2023 third-round pick played in every regular-season game for the second time in as many NFL campaigns, and he upped his tackle total by 16 while playing an additional 259 snaps on defense compared to his rookie season. Diaby also logged 52 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders, supplying four tackles. Diaby did record three fewer sacks in the regular season despite the increased playing time, a matter he'll look to rectify as he enters the third year of his rookie deal in 2025.

Disruptive presence in Week 18 win Diaby provided five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks and three additional tackles for loss, in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact The second-year edge rusher was a disruptive force throughout the playoff-clinching win, tying his second-highest tackle total of the season while recording a full sack for the second straight game. Diaby appeared in all 17 regular-season games during his second pro campaign, establishing a new career high in tackles (54) and both forcing and recovering a fumble, but also finishing with three fewer sacks (4.5) than during his rookie 2023 campaign.

Gets to Young in Week 17 win Diaby finished Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers with three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Impact Diaby was one of five Buccaneers to sack Bryce Young on Sunday, with the former taking down the latter for a 10-yard loss early in the third quarter. Diaby is now up to 3.5 sacks on the season, 1.5 of which have come over his last two games. He'll look to add to his total in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against New Orleans next Sunday, a game in which the Buccaneers would clinch the NFC South division title with a win.

Records first sack of season Diaby recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Diaby finally got a QB takedown in his fourth game of the campaign, despite logging his second-lowest snap count (35) of the young season. The second-year pro, who recorded 7.5 sacks as a rookie across 17 regular-season games in part-time duty, has only topped out at two tackles in terms of a single-game high thus far, so he still has plenty of work to do to qualify as a valuable IDP asset.
