ST. JOSEPH
When football is over for Chiefs defensive end David Irving, later rather than sooner he hopes, a career on stage may beckon.
He took acting classes at Iowa State and appeared in a play. Football obligations forced him to turn down an opportunity to audition for a performance at a theater in Chicago. He’s got the bug, and that’s where his path may someday lead. Or elsewhere.
“I may need a backup plan for my backup plan,” Irving said.
But first there’s matter of professional football, and Irving’s first impression in competition was a good one.
