PROFESSION:
ESPN radio host, Former Dallas Cowboy
BACKGROUND:
It's like this: While Irvin was catching the pigskin for the Dallas Cowboys, the team played three Super Bowls and won them all. Coincidence? No way.
Regarded as one of the most successful wide receivers in the history of the NFL, former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin is a three-time Super Bowl Champion and former broadcaster for ESPN's NFL Countdown. Known as "The Playmaker" and one of "The Triplets" alongside fellow Cowboys Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, Irvin was a recipient of the Dallas Cowboys "Ring of Honor" in 2005.
In 2007, Irvin was inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame and has appeared in various television shows as well as co-starring in
The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock.
Last fall, Irvin executive produced/hosted the reality TV series
4th and Long for Spike TV, in which one football hopeful was given a shot at making the Dallas Cowboys roster. Most recently, he appeared on the Hall of Fame inductions on the NFL Network and hosts his own radio show in Dallas for ESPN Radio.
