There may not be a commensurate word to accurately describe the chaotic tumult that was David Irving’s Dallas Cowboys career.
No one – and I mean no one – could ever deny the man’s physical capabilities.
He was reminiscent of Ed “Too Tall” Jones for his basketball-like reach, and at 6’ 7” and 290 pounds, Irving possessed the speed to easily maneuver around – and girth to absolutely bulldoze through - opposing linemen when he exerted the full magnitude of his effort.
But for Irving, that exact concept was the constant plague that minimized his effectiveness as a gap-clogging playmaker.
