Michael Irvin

Michael Irvin (born March 5, 1966 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a former American football star known for a dynamic, record-setting football career, but also for his flamboyant personality and some widely-publicized run-ins with the law that spotted his reputation as one of the most successful wide receivers in the history of the National Football League.

Winning Super Bowls in the 1990s

In 1992 and 1993, Irvin was a key player on the Cowboys' first two Super Bowl teams. In 1994, he enjoyed another stellar campaign with his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl season, but that year the Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. For his part, however, Irvin had one of the most productive games in NFL playoff history, with 12 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns.
