David Irving is grateful for opportunity to revive his football career with Chiefs

By TEREZ A. PAYLOR

Perhaps the happiest player on the football field during the Chiefs’ rookie camp this weekend was also the tallest — and one of the most athletic.

At 6 feet 7 and 272 pounds, defensive end David Irving looks the part. Throw in an impressive 4.84-second 40-yard dash time and 38-inche vertical and 128-inch broad jumps, and it doesn’t take long to see why the Chiefs were one of seven teams to trek all the way to San Jacinto, Calif., to watch Irving’s personal pro day in March.

Irving, who signed with the Chiefs as a priority free agent, showed flashes of that talent this weekend.
