HYPE

Irving is a playmaker who exhibits the ability to break almost any play into a touchdown. Irving has averaged a stout 6.35 YPC over his past 2 seasons and plays with great game speed. He possesses great hands and will be a great contributor in the pass game, making him an exciting fantasy prospect to watch in the upcoming draft.

 

Running Report

Irving boasts the speed and pass catching skills well suited for outside zone gap schemes. He fights for extra yards on every carry and isn't easily tackled on the initial attempt. He quickly identifies running lanes and can explode through gaps creating game breaking plays for his offence. He gets small in the hole and shrugs off tacklers while keeping his momentum.

 

Strengths:

1. High End Game Speed: Explosive in gaps and has the speed to break big plays.

2. Competitive Play Style: Doesn't collapse on the initial tackle, fights through tackles and is able to fight for additional yards. 

3. Vision: He demonstrates excellent vision and uses his agility to easily hit gaps. He has great instincts.

4. Receiving Skills: Very effective in the passing game and can be lined up in the slot, has soft hands.

 

Weaknesses:

1. Lighter Frame: He could use some bulk to be more suited for the NFL.

2. Cuts at speed: Once Irving hits top speed he's usually unable to change direction quickly to evade deeper defenders.

3. Pass Blocking: Either due to size or inexperience this is a major flaw in his game.
