In a recent NFL re-draft, CBS Sports projects Bucky Irving, who played for the Buccaneers, as the 32nd overall pick to the Carolina Panthers. This marks a significant rise for Irving, who was originally selected in the fourth round at No. 125. While his 2025 season was not as impressive as his rookie year, where he recorded 1,514 yards from scrimmage, he demonstrated potential despite injury setbacks. This re-draft highlights how Irving's capability as a dynamic running back has altered expectations for Tampa Bay's backfield. If he returns to his rookie form, he is set to be viewed as a major success from the 2025 draft class.
