The most electrifying play of Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp this year has come from none other than second-year running back Bucky Irving.

Playing out wide, Irving streaked down the sideline and leaped into the air for a diving catch from Kyle Trask that got The Krewe on its feet and hyped up.

Bucky, Bucky, Bucky

The catch was what everyone saw, but we can't dismiss the quality of a throw that backup Trask made in Baker Mayfield's absence with a hand contusion.

Irving burst onto the scene in his rookie season. He started the season as Rachaad White's backup, but quickly found himself as the team's starter while splitting reps with White as the season progressed.

Irving will now start the 2025 season picking up where he left off as the starter. He will likely still give some reps to White, but the Bucs' backfield of Irving, White and Sean Tucker will once again be tasked with leading the charge to open up things for Mayfield and company.

There is a ton of hype around Irving as he enters Year 2, and he will now be focused more on it now that other teams understand his running style. While teams may be able to key in on Irving, his offensive line will need to be fantastic at opening up holes for him once again to allow him to utilize his unique ability to make defenders miss in space.
