Irvin, a former WVU football player, has never been short on confidence. He was a sack-master with the Mountaineers in the late 2000s and he has gone on to the professional ranks, developing into one of the most unique defensive players in the game.
He was a hot commodity in the free agent market, but ultimate chose to sign with the Raiders in the offseason.
With the Seahawks, Irvin was ultimately overshadowed by his fellow teammates dubbed the “Legion of Boom.” That moniker, given to secondary players Richard Sherman, Jeremy Lane, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas.
Irvin expects his role to change with the Raiders.
