Bucky Irving Is Not Satisfied With His Rookie Season Performance

I’m sure many of you are tired of hearing me gloat over the fact that I had Bucky Irving RB1 during the 2024 NFL Draft. I’m going to keep talking about it for one reason. The rest of the industry won’t take any accountability for how wrong they were.

Putting all of that aside, the former Oregon product isn’t satisfied with his awesome rookie season performance. Despite notching 1,514 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns as a rookie, the Bucs running back is confident he’s going to keep improving and isn’t close to content with how last year went.

“I feel like once you always start something new, it’s going to have to slow down for you a little bit,” Irving said, via PewterReport.com. “When I first got thrown in, the game was moving pretty fast for me but yeah, as I just settled down and let the game – and just think about it like, ‘it’s just football.’ And not think about too [many] other things that are going on out there. But yeah, just always going back and looking at the film and looking at things that you can get better at and improve in and also not getting satisfied and stuck in last year, because it’s a new year. Nobody cares about what you did last year. It’s, ‘What can you do for me now?’ But I’ve always been that guy that pretty much never gets stuck in the past and always [am] where my feet [are] and work hard every day.”

I love this mentality coming from Bucky. I think we’re all excited for what’s to come heading into year two. Just never forget that the rest of the industry led you astray on this one, while Trey was on the money the entire time with the receipts to prove it. I’m just curious why you people continue to listen to anyone else…
