One of the biggest surprises of the 2024 season was the swift emergence of rookie running back Bucky Irving. Despite earning just three starts all season, Irving managed to record over 1,500 yards from scrimmage, including 1,128 rushing yards to go with eight touchdowns on the ground. The rookie’s best game came in Week 12 when he recorded 152 rushing yards and a score on 25 carries.
Entering the 2025 season, the Bucs running back room currently consists of Irving, Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, and D.J. Williams. White had 613 yards and three scores (in 15 starts) while Tucker chipped in 308 yards and two touchdowns as the team’s third-stringer.
