Wide Receivers
Like the running backs, I added another slide for two more additional wide receivers to make this team. It also makes sense as many offensive packages have more than just two receivers on the field.
Michael Irvin
Known for his physicality, Irvin is one of the most prolific football players to ever wear The U helmet. He played at Miami from 1985 to 1987.
An integral part of the Miami Hurricanes 1987 National Championship team, Irvin had 2,423 yards receiving and 26 touchdowns at Miami.
He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round (11th overall) and played with the Cowboys for 12 seasons, winning three Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII & XXX). He was a five-time member of the Pro Bowl, a Pro Bowl MVP and an All-Pro.
Irvin was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2007, inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor in 2005 and inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.

His son, Michael Irvin Jr. is currently a Miami Hurricanes football commit.
Santana Moss
Moss played for the ‘Canes from 1997 to 2000 and was not only an elusive, speedster with great hands, but a wonderful return specialist.
Through 4 seasons, he accumulated 2,547 receiving yards and 19 receiving touchdowns. In addition, as a punt returner, he had 1,196 yards and taking 6 touchdowns to the house.
As a senior, Moss was a consensus First-Team All-American, First-Team All-BIG EAST, BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year and BIG EAST Special Team Player of the Year.
He was drafted by the New York Jets in the first round (16th overall) and played in the NFL for 14 seasons, primarily with the Jets and Washington Redskins.
In the NFL, Moss has made the Pro Bowl, was an All-Pro and is part of the 10,000 Receiving Yards Club.
He was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
