Bruce Irvin Joins 710 ESPN Seattle's Bob, Dave and Moore
Bruce Irvin starred with the Seahawks in the earlier days for head coach Pete Carroll, and now he's back for a second helping. A first-round draft pick by Seattle in 2012, Irvin totaled eight sacks as a rookie and helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII in his second season.
In the first four seasons of his career, Irvin amassed 22 sacks and 133 tackles for the Seahawks. After his fourth season, Irvin signed with the Oakland Raiders and subsequently broke his career-high for tackles in a season. Last year, he had a career-high 8.5 sacks for the Carolina Panthers before deciding it was time to return home. In Week 1, Irvin had three tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in the Seahawks' win.
