Michael Irvin

Michael Jerome Irvin is an American sports commentator and former professional football player. He played as a wide receiver for 12 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007. Irvin played college football for the Miami Hurricanes and was selected in the first round of the 1988 NFL draft by the Cowboys. He played for the Cowboys from 1988 to 1999 before sustaining a cervical fracture of his spine in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, in which he was carted off the field and transported to a Philadelphia hospital, forcing him to retire. Irvin was nicknamed "the Playmaker" due to his penchant for making big plays in big games during his college and pro careers. Along with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, Irvin was one of three key Cowboys offensive players known as "The Triplets", who led the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in 1992, 1993, and 1995.
