Nobody I'd rather have at receiver if I needed to make a play. The best defenders in the league couldn't stop him, he would was born to be the Playmaker.... thanks for the memories Mr. IRVIN
Taking nothing away from his God given talent and the work that was required to bring out and maintain that talent............Irvin looks like a kid with boundless energy who is having more fun than ANYBODY ever had playing football. Am I right or am I RIGHT?????
He was loud and proud on that field, he talked the talk, but he damn sure walked the walk, too. He was on offense and its the offenses ball, he was not going to let the defense take it from him, he is "The Playmaker" and thats just the way it is. We watched greatness in action.
I remember him catching almost everything, too, it wasn't highlights till he made them highlights he would use his body, did he push off yeah, was the defender trying to grab and arm block him , yeah. The man was great ,had heart, had desire and if he could reach it he caught it, he felt it was the offenses ball so the defense can't have it , period Mr. HOOD that's why he has these and more highlights. And he was a tough SO-GUN, .....
People forget this man was MOSS before Moss was Moss. He might not have that speed but godamn he will go get that ball for you and will burn anyone in his way.
Aikman to Irvin. Aikman to Irvin. Aikman to Irvin. Damn. No one was as Clutch as Mike!! I remember the scenarios… it’d be 3rd or 4th & long with the game on the line. Every one knew where the ball was going… double coverage and they still couldnt stop him!! The boy Irv was a problem!!
88 Irvin was dominate...he had great success against every top rated DB of that era did not matter who covered him...D. Sanders, E Allen, A. Williams, C. Woodson, D. Green...w/o a doubt one of the GOAT's
After watching this, I forgot how many times Irvin would catch that deep comeback route, shake the defender that was draped all over his back, and then run for another 10-15 yards or more. He was a master at using his body to shield off the coverage. Cowboys need another guy like Irvin who could both brag AND back it up with his play.
I came to this video to see how 88 would get off press man coverage. He just ran right off because he was too strong for the corners. Today’s WRs have to do all these jab steps to get off the line. That’s what we see Deion and Chad Johnson always joking about who could do better against each other. But Michael, Megatron, and Sterling Sharpe didn’t even entertain the thought of being pressed! Deion could even do that with Jerry, 88 wasn’t having it!
September, 2022. Jerry is still Jerry doing things Jerry’s way. We’ll never see the likes of this again in Dallas as long as Jerry is Jerry. Some people would rather lose THEIR WAY than win somebody else’s (Jimmy Johnson) way.
The playmaker, saw a interview with Aikman, he said Irvin would come back to the huddle after a play he was double covered on and say, Troy why didn't you throw me the ball, I was open. He said one thing was sure, Michael felt it was his ball and he was going to get it, not the defender. When the team needed a play, Irvin would say throw me the ball, I'll make the play. He did just that time after time, after time. It was his ball... 88 he and Drew Pearson made that number in Dallas great , thank you both, gentlemen .....
Dallas needs the passion that Michael had. Most of them now on the side line do not look interested with what's going on in the game. Including the coach.
There's just something magical about that name Michael in entertainment and sport isn't it? Let's take a look. First you got Michael Jackson with an unprecedented 10 grammy awards, could be more. Then you got Michael Jordan with his 6 nba championships and last but not least Michael Irvin with 3 super bowl championships. Irvin really personified the personality of the cowboys in the 90's. I mean this guy had it, the will to win!
You forgot F1 driver Michael Schumacher! From wikipedia: He has a joint-record seven World Drivers' Championship titles and, at the time of his retirement from the sport in 2012, he held the records for the most wins (91), pole positions (68) and podium finishes (155)-which have since been broken by Lewis Hamilton-while he maintains the records for the most fastest laps (77) and the most races won in a single season (with Sebastian Vettel) (13), among others.
3 greats, 3 championships, Jones would have left Jimmy alone we would have had 4 in a row if not 5. Switzer came back that 2nd year and got one , but if Jimmy was there....
MIchael Irvin might be my favorite player of all time. It's hard to choose, but I don't know how you hate on this guy. Did he ever receive an "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty? I never saw it.
During his career, I always wished I was a cowboys fan. The play maker was awesome. I still say he's the second greatest receiver I've ever seen. Even better than Moss.
A lot of defensive backs hated Irvin, he didn't care. It was his ball and they couldn't have it, he made damn sure they didn't get it. It's mine, don't care if you don't like it.. I'm "The Playmaker" around here....Michael Irvin man
There were two plays against the *Steelers* where Irvin caught the ball and two defenders collided with each other allowing Irvin to run to the endzone, while Rod Woodson ran Irvin down, but was too late to catch him before he got in.
There’s no doubt ever that Michael Irvin was great... But dez Bryant had some of the greatest catches I’ve ever seen NO ONE goes up and gets it like Dez Bryant. There’s a reason he left the cowboys the leader in TD receptions.
1st round pick by Dallas in 1988 (Tom Landry's last ever top draft pick) 88/89 All Rookie Team 3x Super Bowl 🏟 Champion 1x NCAA champion at the University of Miami 1x Concensus All America with the University of Miami 1x 1st team All Pro Receiver 2x 1st team All Pro Receiver 5x Pro Bowl 90s All decade team Played with the Dallas Cowboys 🤠 from 1988-2000 Pro football 🏈 HOF
The only team who matched up with the Cowboys in the early 90s was the 9ers. Every time they played in the championship game. The game was better than the Super Bowl
Dez had equal talent but not 1% of the work ethic, the leadership or the team orientated mindset that Irv had. Irvin was all about the team and all about winning no matter what. When the run game was key to win, Irvin said 'give Emmitt the ball, I block for him'. All these wr divas like Dez and Odell are so full of themselves they become distractions for their teams.
Hey Sir, My dad is Ricardo McDonald who played in the NFL for 10 years. I was wondering if you could make a highlight video for him! Thank you so much!
As well as the Marks Brothers (Clayton & Duper), James Lofton, John (JJ) Jefferson, Roy (Jetstream) Green, Andre (Bad Moon) Rison, Cris Carter, Herman Moore, Sterling Sharpe, Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Irving Fryar, Isaac Bruce, & Torry Holt. Darrell Green's coverage ability was EXTREMELY poor & overrated & he don't belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame over such elite shutdown coverage cornerbacks like Lester Hayes, the late great Dave Brown, Louis Wright, Frank Minnifield, Hanford Dixon, Everson Walls, Lamar Parrish, Ken Riley, Eric Allen, & Sam Madison. The only reason why he is the Hall of Fame is because he was supremely fast for 20 years & he ran down Tony Dorsett, Eric Dickerson, & Rocket Ismail on 60+ yard runs & catches & prevented an 80+ yard touchdown oh & he won the NFL's Fastest Man competition 4x but again I say being able to run a 4.2 or 4.3 40 yard dash shouldn't take away from the fact he was a pedestrian ass cover cornerback & has ABSOLUTELY no business being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame especially over the cornerbacks I previously mentioned.
Irvin made Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, Ronnie Lott, Dale Carter, Eric Allen, Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent, Aeneas Williams, and everyone else look silly.
Tony Romo started for Dallas 14 seasons, holds all of the Cowboys’ passing records, but when we talk about Cowboys’ quarterbacks he is always overshadowed by Aikman and Staubach. Romo was a great quarterback but he couldn’t get it done in the playoffs.
Sorry but do y’all think Troy Aikman would have been as good as he was without Irvin? Dude threw some extremely questionable balls that Micheal still came down with. In today’s NFL those are easy interceptions
Aikman to Irvin, never gets old. As a Dallas native I grew up with these guys never thought we would be stuck in 20 years of mediocrity.
Sick of Jerry yet?
@@GrislyAtoms12 yes.
It's all Jerry's fault.,the first owner in a sports history too destroyed his own success
For real, growing up watching those teams was so fun, never thought we’d be so Avg so soon after it.
28 🤣 Jerry sucks
My favorite wide receiver of all times
Mines too
@@dezyariaparisratliff3762 mine too. I really liked Drew Pearson also.
Me too in my Kevin Gates voice
Mines too

Your absolutely right on this!
As a Cowboys fan, I feel like I take for granted how great Irvin is.
mojo schmee honestly lots of people do now especially considering how easy it is for receivers to rack up stats in this era
He was loud and proud on that field, he talked the talk, but he damn sure walked the walk, too. He was on offense and its the offenses ball, he was not going to let the defense take it from him, he is "The Playmaker" and thats just the way it is. We watched greatness in action.
Aikman was accurate as hell. Right in Irvin's hands everytime.
mezanine10 I still say that same thing today.. Seemed as if the offense would score every possession. Offense kept the chains movimg
Troy is one of the most accurate passers I've ever seen.
@@leonardocucchiara4782 He didnt have to throw that often though, not with that run game
No, he was carried. 😂😂😂
Not on the deep ball
Aikman throws the most beautiful balls
That's what she said.
Pause
No homo 🤣
God damn he was AMAZING
SmithN' Wesson yes!!!
Aikman + Smith + Irvin = perfection
1996 and 1997 disagree.
And sanders
@@supersexysega But '92, '93, '94 and '95 they dominated my guy
Irving is a legend. His hands are a guaranteed catch
Irvin can literally catch anything you throw his way
Hussle Crowe yeah highlights seem to make it that way....
I remember him catching almost everything, too, it wasn't highlights till he made them highlights he would use his body, did he push off yeah, was the defender trying to grab and arm block him , yeah. The man was great ,had heart, had desire and if he could reach it he caught it, he felt it was the offenses ball so the defense can't have it , period Mr. HOOD that's why he has these and more highlights. And he was a tough SO-GUN, .....
He’s a bad man. I used to love watching him play ❤❤
Aikman could have gone out there drunk and thrown George Foreman's grill down field and Michael Irvin would have caught it.
People forget this man was MOSS before Moss was Moss. He might not have that speed but godamn he will go get that ball for you and will burn anyone in his way.
Just don't get ahead of him in the haircut line.
Good comment lol. In my opinion it seems like Dallas had a potent passing game.
Look at the quick release Aikman has
I can see why he loves defending Cowboys so much! He was a Cowboy!
THE Cowboy my brothe THE Cowboy
The PLAYMAKER!..
Hi Baby hey baby 👋
Aikman to Irvin. Aikman to Irvin. Aikman to Irvin. Damn. No one was as Clutch as Mike!! I remember the scenarios… it’d be 3rd or 4th & long with the game on the line. Every one knew where the ball was going… double coverage and they still couldnt stop him!! The boy Irv was a problem!!

It’s crazy Aikman was under center his entire career
No shotgun ?
Irvin talked a lot of trash, but he certainly backed it up. Irvin was clutch
love the fact that you put Rocket Queen and Locomotive as the songs
Simply said The Playmaker!!!!!
The most fitting nickname for a receiver. CD Lamb could be the PlayMaker 2.0
Irvin was a man among boys…those DBs were like children to him….he was too big too strong for them
Dallas has some pretty good receivers right now....but none of them have the heart and fire that Irvin brought to the game. He would not be denied.
Dude, favorite GNR track and fave receiver! I salute you, sir
GREAT NFL CAREER HIGHLIGHTS OF MICHAEL IRVIN IN DALLAS COWBOYS !!!
One of my all time favourite players.
September, 2022. Jerry is still Jerry doing things Jerry’s way. We’ll never see the likes of this again in Dallas as long as Jerry is Jerry. Some people would rather lose THEIR WAY than win somebody else’s (Jimmy Johnson) way.

Don’t forget about Dez.
Dallas needs the passion that Michael had. Most of them now on the side line do not look interested with what's going on in the game. Including the coach.
Let's be honest, Michael Irvin was the first black superhero.
There's just something magical about that name Michael in entertainment and sport isn't it? Let's take a look. First you got Michael Jackson with an unprecedented 10 grammy awards, could be more. Then you got Michael Jordan with his 6 nba championships and last but not least Michael Irvin with 3 super bowl championships. Irvin really personified the personality of the cowboys in the 90's.

Michael Phelps.
I miss the triplets
Me too those were the days
you gotta admit dak zeke and dez was fun during his rookie year, but now its amari still decent tho
3 greats, 3 championships, Jones would have left Jimmy alone we would have had 4 in a row if not 5. Switzer came back that 2nd year and got one , but if Jimmy was there....
MIchael Irvin might be my favorite player of all time. It's hard to choose, but I don't know how you hate on this guy. Did he ever receive an "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty? I never saw it.
It’s always a trip to see the Boys play on the road and the home stadium go nuts when they score lmaooo DC4L 12:21
11:32 was nothing less then amazing
Don’t get no better than The Playmaker Baby!
He was much faster than I remember him being.
His speed was deceptive, not a burner but definitely had another gear he could shift.
Cee Dee lamb the same
During his career, I always wished I was a cowboys fan. The play maker was awesome. I still say he's the second greatest receiver I've ever seen. Even better than Moss.
14:26 is the best part of this video
Really is tho😆😆😆😆😆
I'm a diehard raiders fan but Irvin was my guy
His Rookie footage. We don't see that anywhere. Nice! He had some great plays against Washington
Aikman is a bad ass
man Rod Woodson must hate Michael Irvin
He does. Plus the team
not as much as Darrell Green did!
I'd say Aeneas Williams hates him more.
A lot of defensive backs hated Irvin, he didn't care. It was his ball and they couldn't have it, he made damn sure they didn't get it. It's mine, don't care if you don't like it.. I'm "The Playmaker" around here....Michael Irvin man

MICHAEL IRVIN IS A LOUDMOUTH, MISUNDERSTOOD, AND BLASTED SOMEWHAT AMAZING NOT ME
0:16 triple coverage 😮
Troy,mike and emmitt...the GOATS.
What a player
I seriously think he us the best of all time WR to ever play.
randy moss?
Yup
Watching this after seeing the deeper your will speech!
Man was godly
There’s no doubt ever that Michael Irvin was great... But dez Bryant had some of the greatest catches I’ve ever seen NO ONE goes up and gets it like Dez Bryant. There’s a reason he left the cowboys the leader in TD receptions.
LMFAO Dez couldn't shine MIcahels shoes you delusional clown.
@@a1mb0tz TOTALLY, agreed. That's coming from a diehard, Redskins fan, too.
Emmitt Smith is the reason why Irvin does not have the record. Dez is not even close to as great as Irvin was
😂😂😂 that was funny
1st round pick by Dallas in 1988 (Tom Landry's last ever top draft pick)
88/89 All Rookie Team
3x Super Bowl 🏟 Champion
1x NCAA champion at the University of Miami
1x Concensus All America with the University of Miami
1x 1st team All Pro Receiver
2x 1st team All Pro Receiver
5x Pro Bowl
90s All decade team
Played with the Dallas Cowboys 🤠 from 1988-2000
Pro football 🏈 HOF
You all see it with your own eyes, thus is what a real no.1 receiver looks like... Dez ain't one... He is a no. 2 At best..
I hope your talking about Dez after 2015 cuss he was a prototype elite number one 2012-2015
Sick song
He was drafted before the arrival of new management.
The only team who matched up with the Cowboys in the early 90s was the 9ers. Every time they played in the championship game. The game was better than the Super Bowl
Guy was catching everything jeez
ok but the cymbal use in the song rocket queen is awsome
He had fun
Troy Airman with that Single Pump you know he was going Long when he did that
They say he wasn't fast but fast enough to get downfield
@11:15...it's ok, dale. you're still my favorite cornerback.
Irvin was the fkn man. If only dez had 50% of his talent and guts he would be a bad ass too.
Dez had equal talent but not 1% of the work ethic, the leadership or the team orientated mindset that Irv had. Irvin was all about the team and all about winning no matter what. When the run game was key to win, Irvin said 'give Emmitt the ball, I block for him'. All these wr divas like Dez and Odell are so full of themselves they become distractions for their teams.
whose watching after he got snubbed on the top 100
Hey Sir, My dad is Ricardo McDonald who played in the NFL for 10 years. I was wondering if you could make a highlight video for him! Thank you so much!
Hes a part of the dallas football camp
Nice soundtrack
Michael Irvin career highlights. Guess this is gonna be a 15 minute video of him pushing off
Irvinesshh🎉
@ 4:30 what a god damn dime by Aikman and great on Mike beating double coverage
Had to put the music to complete the nostalgia
The only player who had surer hands than Irvin is Gronk.
THE PLAYMAKER 88 CLUB CEO.
Feels like the 70s.
A PF playing WR
12:37 Michael Irvin are you serious 😮😮
Only WR I've got ahead of Irvin is Rice.
Sterling Sharp and Andre Reed were really good too
Broward County Raised!!!
Haha Made Darrell Green look silly... and so did Freddie Solomon and Clifford Branch for any Green fans
As well as the Marks Brothers (Clayton & Duper), James Lofton, John (JJ) Jefferson, Roy (Jetstream) Green, Andre (Bad Moon) Rison, Cris Carter, Herman Moore, Sterling Sharpe, Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Irving Fryar, Isaac Bruce, & Torry Holt.

What did Michael do better?
Slash Defences
Slash necks ✂️
Mike was so 90s lol
The only crimes T.O. and Ocho Cinco ever committed were trying to be like 88 and failing while trying to be like 88.
I only know who michael irvin is bc i opened a legends pack on madden 18
Missed out!!!
Irvin was on the phone ordering a ball and some female company for after the game.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is someone still playing with his number 88 in 2022?
Let Deek speak!
Rice, Moss, Irvin top 3
When in doubt, use Guns N Roses.
That was his ball
Wow! Can't believe they filmed with potatos and bananas in the past.
I can say. I watched 90s football and it pretty much looks the same as today. Some how they fuk with the video to make it look shady lol
Jesus loves you-!!
Tony Romo started for Dallas 14 seasons, holds all of the Cowboys’ passing records, but when we talk about Cowboys’ quarterbacks he is always overshadowed by Aikman and Staubach. Romo was a great quarterback but he couldn’t get it done in the playoffs.
Jerry RICE
WORE #9 QB IN HS

You didn't show any of his coke use or when he stabbed a player with scissors for getting a hair cut before him
Great video!!! I made a similar video! Check it out!
