TBBRB • #7

Bucs selected Oregon RB Bucky Irving with the No. 125 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Irving (5’9/192) is a junior who started his college career at Minnesota. After a 699-yard, four-touchdown freshman season, he transferred to Oregon, where he tallied back-to-back seasons of over 1,000 yards rushing on over six yards per carry. Irving’s pass-catching was also a nice complement to Bo Nix in the Ducks’ offense, totaling 413 receiving yards on 56 receptions last season. He didn’t test well at the combine, running a 4.55 40-yard dash - a slower time than expected for a back of his size. While Irving has the college production, his physical testing has decreased his draft stock. Irving profiles as a receiving back without the physical traits to get three-down work in the NFL. He will serve as a versatile backup to Rachaad White as a rookie.
