Rare length, disruptive upside, and a wild-card defensive line problem-solver
In his Iowa State days, David Irving flashed the kind of length and pass-rush upside that jumps off the tape: at 6-foot-7 with rare wingspan, he could attack throwing lanes, redirect for a tall defender, and create chaos as a reactionary athlete. The differentiator was always ceiling—part edge/part interior disruptor with real kick-blocking and pass-breakup juice—but his college story also came with inconsistency and off-field baggage, so the fit question is less about talent and more about maturity, reliability, and how much developmental patience a staff wants.
