Putting on a cap and gown probably feels a little different than putting on a Raiders uniform, and Saturday afternoon Bruce Irvin got to experience that first hand.
Six years ago, the now-Raiders linebacker left college early to enter the 2012 NFL Draft, and ended up becoming the No. 15 overall pick. His first four seasons in the league were spent with the Seattle Seahawks, where he totaled three interceptions, two touchdowns, seven passes defensed, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 22 sacks, and 143 tackles. Irvin compiled some quality stats during his tenure with the Seahawks, but his greatest accomplishment was winning Super Bowl XLVIII.
