Explosive Louisville-built edge rusher with NFL-caliber burst and power
Diaby is best known for his rare blend of length, twitch, and strength, traits that helped Louisville turn him into a disruptive edge defender before Tampa Bay drafted him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. In his 2025 NFL season, he posted 7 sacks and 27 solo tackles, showing he can finish plays and affect the quarterback consistently[1][2]. He fits teams that value violent hands, high motor, and a versatile front-seven piece who can win as a pass rusher without needing ideal alignment every snap[6][7].
