Michael
Irvin was the Cowboys #1 pick in the 1988 NFL
Draft (11th overall). The last pick in the first round
of an NFL draft by Tom
Landry, not a bad one either. Michael became one
of the most prolific wide receivers of his time. He
was a big target and not afraid to go over the middle
but with the ability to get deep. He set a Cowboy
record with 111 catches and 1603 yards in 1995. The
Triplets, as they were known by (Emmitt
Smith, Michael Irvin, & Troy
Aikman) were the most feared offensive set in
the game for almost a decade. The Cowboys won 3 Super
Bowls with Michael Irvin as their inspirational leader
on and off the field. Easily the most vocal of the
trio, Michael led by example by giving all he had
every time he was on the field. A neck injury in 1999
forced an early retirement otherwise his numbers may
have been even more impressive, as it is, he is the
Dallas Cowboys ALL TIME leading receiver in catches,
yards, and 2nd in TDs behind the 'Bullet' Bob
Hayes. Not a bad pick coach Landry, not a bad
pick at all!
