The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have strengthened their running game by drafting Oregon's Bucky Irving in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
identified Irving as having one of the top landing spots. A significant element was the outlook of potentially having the second-best odds of earning a starting job in his rookie class."I think that was kind of what we were looking for at some point in this draft, to just add to that group and create competition," Biehl said."I think Bucky does that.""We thought he might go a little bit earlier," Biehl mentioned.
"I think even talking to him, when Jason called him, he had a little bit of a chip on his shoulder, thinking he should have gone earlier," Biehl elaborated."We kind of like that. He's just another right kind of character guy that we've been targeting. He fits that mold." "He's a little undersized but has really good feet and is quick and explosive," Biehl said."I would describe him as a slippery runner. And when I say 'undersized' I mean he's more short than slight. He's still got some bulk to him, so he can run with a little power. He's good in the passing game. He's just kind of an all-around good back.
