A 6-foot-7 defensive beast out of Iowa State University came on to the scene almost as fast as he dropped off it. In the past four years, defensive tackle David Irving showed the potential to be the anchor of the Dallas Cowboys‘ defense. Now, the 25-year old is quitting the game of football.
Irving went undrafted out of ISU in 2015 and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent. After not making the active roster and being placed on the practice squad in Kansas City, the Cowboys’ front office took a chance on someone with the kind of physical attributes any player would love to have.
