Bucky Irving, a resilient running back drafted by the Bucs, has faced significant losses but continues to excel on the field. He honors his late loved ones by carrying a chip on his shoulder and works hard each day. Irving aims to contribute to the Bucs' offense both as a rusher and receiver, forming a dynamic duo with Rachaad White.

The Bucs surprised by choosing Irving over Ray Davis, who was coached by the new offensive coordinator. Despite concerns about his size, Irving is determined to prove himself and draw inspiration from successful smaller NFL backs like Barry Sanders and Devin Singletary.
