Carolina Panthers 2027 NFL Draft Prospect Profile: Chris Cole https://t.co/B3R3VcsHmm

Matt Waldman

Bucky Irving 72-yard run #Bucaneers Efficient jump cuts and a good stop-start cut.

Matt Waldman

Bucky Irving = Quickness When paired with efficient change of direction, vision, and understanding of concepts, it makes a back far more dangerous than straight-line speed on its own. Or at least, more verstile with ways to gash a defender.
