I mean, I'm just even as a prospect, I just was never that much of a Bucky guy, you know? like a it's gonna be gonna you guys know it's hard for me to sell myself on a 3.5 RAS guy

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Skeptical due to poor RAS, lack of top gear, and backfield competition

The source is skeptical of Bucky Irving, citing a poor 3.5 RAS score, lack of top-end speed, and an inability to generate explosive 30+ yard gains. While he is a decisive runner who can generate consistent 13-14 yard gains, the source notes the 'vibes' are poor and he faces significant competition for high-value touches in the Tampa Bay backfield.
