Bucky Irving Summary:

The Positives

  • Gets to top gear quickly
  • Good not elite speed
  • Displays pretty good vision between the tackles
  • Possesses a good juke move and overall plus elusiveness
  • Decent receiving experience
  • Ran routes at receiver
  • Willing blocker 

The Negatives

  • Bounces too many runs to the outside
  • Dances around too much in the backfield at times
  • Power is average at best
  • Awful athletic testing

Irving has some desirable traits at the next level, specifically his receiving ability. He has decent vision and is a good athlete, though not special. He is a willing blocker but his lack of size and power makes one question how effective he will be in this area at the next level. He dances around too much at times and tries to do too much when the lane is not as there as he wants. He definitely has a role at the next level, but we doubt that it is as an every down back.
