Full disclosure – I’m a big fan of David Irving.
After being poached from the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad in 2015, he only played in 199 snaps on the year (18.84%). He flashed some good play, including a blocked field goal against the Seattle Seahawks, but he was still a forgotten piece to the Cowboys defensive line. Entering his second season, we wrote a piece about him taking a big step forward.
When your defensive line group finally breaks the seal on showing the world that they have talent, there is always one player that nobody has heard of that breaks out.
