Despite concerns about committee usage with Sean Tucker and Kenneth Gainwell, Irving averaged 20.3 touches per game in his rookie season—workhorse usage by modern standards. Gainwell averaged only 6.7 carries per game for the Steelers in 2025 (a career high), and Irving's 1.56 yards per route run significantly exceeds Gainwell's 1.19 yards per route run, suggesting Irving will retain primary pass-catching duties.
