Can Shaka Toney Become Washington’s own Bruce Irvin?

If you all remember, Bruce Irvin was an athletic freak coming out of West Virginia, who was selected in the first round (15th overall) by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft.

He measured in at 6’3” 245 pounds, with 33 3/8 inch arms prior to the draft. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.50 seconds, had a 6.70 3-cone drill, jumped 10’3” in the broad and recorded a 33.5 inch vertical.

Irvin transferred to West Virginia after putting in two years in the junior college ranks. During his Junior and Senior seasons in Morgantown, he accumulated 61 total tackles (29 for a loss), 22.
