PLAYER ANALYSIS
Tough guy with a mauler's demeanor, but lacking the athletic traits to handle pass protection duties on a consistent basis as an NFL tackle. Irwin's issues with balance and knee bend open him up to both edge speed and speed-to-power rushers. While he can be serviceable as a run-blocker, he turns too many rushers loose for him to make a living as an NFL starter.
