No. 11 Miami football NFL career in league history: Michael Irvin
1988 NFL Draft: Round 1, Pick 11
Dallas Cowboys, 1988–1999
While he may be in the headlines for all the wrong reasons at this exact moment in time, Michael Irvin’s legacy will persevere through history as one of the reasons why the Dallas Cowboys are affectionately known as “America’s Team.” Yardbarker’s David J. Hunt summed up Irvin’s career best.
“Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin won everywhere he went,” Hunt prefaced before saying, “A national champion in college with the Miami Hurricanes, Irvin became the emotional leader of the 1990s Cowboys that won three Super Bowls in four years.”
Irvin was the best wideout in the NFL back during the 1991 season, leading the league in receptions, and was named to the 1990s All-Decade Team. No matter what controversy he may be surrounded by at the current moment, what he did on the field was undeniable.
