Irving's 2025 injuries and line decline masked his underlying talent; efficiency metrics fell.

His efficiency metrics declined significantly: yards per carry dropped from 5.4 (rookie) to 3.4 (2025); yards after contact per carry fell from 3.93 to 2.33; breakaway run percentage plummeted from 34.9% to 13.4%.
