TAMPA, Fla. -- For Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, last year's breakout season as a rookie is in the past, and no amount of training camp practice cheering or preseason buzz changes that.
The fans cheer no matter what he does, whether it's juking out Tennessee Titans linebacker Amari Burney during a joint practice drill or an outstretched diving reception on a deep ball throw from Kyle Trask that seemed to defy what his compact frame could muster.
"I mean, it is 8 o'clock in the morning," Irving said with a smile.
