From the article

Robinson was notably the OC for Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, so he has a history of coaching star running backs and getting the most out of them... he should be closer to 2024 form and should play a big role in Tampa's potential bounce-back season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

New OC Robinson's Bijan experience should return Irving to 2024 form.

Irving was a breakout star in 2024 but suffered an injury-plagued 2025 limited to 10 games. His rushing yards per game dropped from 66 in 2024 to 58.8 in 2025, though receiving yards increased from 23.1 to 27.7 per game. With the Buccaneers installing new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson—who coached Bijan Robinson in Atlanta—Irving should return closer to 2024 form and play a big role in Tampa's bounce-back season, especially with Mike Evans departing.
