Oakland Raiders linebacker Bruce Irvin says he will start recruiting other players to join the team in March.

Almost immediately upon being signed as a free agent in the 2016 offseason, and perhaps even before he officially signed, Bruce Irvin wasted no time recruiting other players to join the Oakland Raiders.

He started with Donald Penn, who at the time remained unsigned.

Bout to text him now RT @ElBooogie: @BIrvin_WVU11 did you tell @DPENN70 to resign yet baby Reggie? — Bruce Irvin (@BIrvin_WVU11) March 10, 2016

Next, Irvin turned his attention to Eric Weddle.

There were a few other tweets, but it looks like they were deleted. There was one about Aldon Smith, for sure, and possibly others.

Irvin adopted the nickname “Baby Reggie” as a result of his recruiting efforts, and the moniker quickly picked up traction amongst Raider Nation.

Call me baby Reggie lolol — Bruce Irvin (@BIrvin_WVU11) March 10, 2016

When Irvin officially inked his deal, he posted a picture with the original Reggie, which was quite funny.

Once Raider Nation got ahold of it, it didn’t take long for the memes to follow.

Fret not, Raiders Nation — Baby Reggie will be making his return to the front office, so to speak, in March.

From the man himself:

I'm gon start recruiting in march lol — Bruce Irvin (@BIrvin_WVU11) February 15, 2017

So who do you think will be on Baby Reggie’s recruiting list this offseason? Tony Jefferson? DeSean Jackson?
