Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is leveraging a stellar rookie season with a dedicated offseason in Tampa.
The fourth-round pick from Oregon erupted in 2024, rushing for 1,122 yards on 207 carries with eight touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards per carry—fourth among NFL running backs. His 1,597 total yards and 82 forced missed tackles showcased his elusiveness, earning him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in Week 13.
Yet, he’s proving to be better than what he was his first year in the NFL as he has shown his commitment to having an even better sophomore campaign with what he has done this offseason and in camp so far.
