From the video

I'm afraid Buckyy's going to get squeezed from the passing down scenarios with Gainwell and Bucky is going to be getting squeezed with Shawn Tucker at the goal line.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Bucky Irving faces a crowded, split backfield role

Bucky Irving is a questionable draft pick due to concerns about his frame holding up to a full workload and a crowded backfield; he faces being squeezed out of passing downs by Kenneth Gainwell and goal-line work by Sean Tucker.
