Bucky Irving ‘Bucky reveals not to stay “stuck” in the year 2 Originally appeared on Sports Athlon.
For a recruit that rushed to 1,122 yards and eight affected, it is a little strange to say that they must prove themselves in the year 2, but it is the mentality that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wore his back Bucky Irving.

After usurpating Rachaad White for the starting role early last season, Irving produced several fellow exhibitions that made him one of the best backs of football.
However, as we know, the success of the NFL is not linear, and what was good for a year may not be the next one.
And after a recruited season off competition, Bucky comes back to Square One before the 2nd year.
“Always go back and watch the film and watch things you can improve and improve yourself”, ” Irving said. “Also not to be satisfied and stuck last year because it is a new year, nobody cares about what you did last year, that’s what you can do for me now, but I have always been this guy who never hides in the past and that I am always with my feet and I work hard every day.”

After Iving produced last season, it is natural to expect an increase in performance, and with the first five of the offensive line all back, there is every reason to suggest that Bucky will again contribute to Josh Grizzard’s offensive.

Irving only started three games last season, so we imagine that it will increase considerably now that he is the starter, with White and Sean Tucker as changes behind Baker Mayfield.
It was a recruited season to remember for the choice of fourth round, but last year was last year – now he is there to prove that it was not a stroke of luck.
