    Records

    Michael Irvin's legacy is defined by his three Super Bowl championships and his reputation as one of the most clutch wide receivers in NFL history. He was the first rookie wide receiver to start a season opener for the Cowboys in over 20 years and set an NFL record with 11 100-yard receiving games in 1995. His five consecutive Pro Bowl selections and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007 cement his place among the all-time greats. As a key member of "The Triplets," he helped define a dynasty that dominated the 1990s.
