Drafted in the second round in 2021, Basham nearly doubled his snap count in 2022, going from 201 as a rookie to 389 last year. The production, however, did not follow. As a rookie, Basham made 18 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Last season, he had 19 tackles and two sacks. Basham missed five tackles last season, according to analytics website Pro Football Focus. That’s a big number for a defensive lineman. With so much added competition along the defensive line, Basham needs a big training camp simply for job security. As a second-round pick, he needs to produce more.’
