Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving not 'getting satisfied and stuck in last year' after sensational rookie season

Bucky Irving, a rookie running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, emerged as a key player midway through the season by rushing for 1,122 yards and eight touchdowns on 207 carries, despite not being the primary option until Week 10. His efficiency was noteworthy, with a 5.4 yards per carry average, ranking him among the top NFL running backs. Irving excelled in breaking tackles, leading in missed tackles forced percentage, and was effective in gaining yards after contact. As he looks forward to his second season, Irving aims to improve with the help of a stable offensive line, acknowledging their crucial role in his success. While other backs like Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will still get opportunities, Irving is expected to be the primary focus of the Bucs' run game in the upcoming season.
