Michael Irvin Top 25 Plays! 

NFL Throwback is scientifically proven to be better than the normal nfl channel

The playmaker 🤯

Damn Irvin was a beast.

The PLAYMAKER..... study him young bucks.... but really study what's inside his heart and his hunger, desire, and drive to never, ever quit - no matter what - and that is where you will find the key to his success.

He was a natural. Didn't care where he was falling, but he was gonna make the catch.

The playmaker, one of the best big game receivers ever.

4:28 the way Irvin turned around looked so badass

A true number one receiver. Would fight and win most 50/50 balls and ran the entire route tree. The Cowboys surely miss him.

What I'm learning from this video is how great he was at battling DBs and earning his receptions.

Michael Irvin is the greatest!!!💪🏾🏈

Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin were literally the best

Irvin was one of the most productive WRs of his time despite being stuck on a run first team. Interestingly, Irvin won the receiving title in 1991 with 1523 yards while Emmitt Smith won the rushing title that same year with 1563 yards. Then, in 1995, Irvin put up his best year with 1603 yards, (still a Cowboys single season record for receiving yards.), 10 touchdowns, and 11 100 yard games in the SAME season in which Emmitt Smith put his career highs of 1773 yards and 25 touchdowns. Talking about being productive despite having to share the ball. Now, Irvin only had 1 season of double digit touchdowns with a career high off only 10 with a career total of 65. BUT you have to understand that Irvin's touchdown stats were deflated by the fact the 1990s Cowboys always ran the ball in goal to go situations. If it was any down and goal, they were feeding Emmitt. I would guess, and this video backs this up, that most of Irvin's touchdowns went for at least 11 yards with many of them long ones because once they got to the 10, they were running. But what REALLY puts in perspective how productive Irvin was is the fact that his 74.9 receiving yards per game are the highest receiving yards per game for any player whose career ended before 2000.

One of the best Wide outs in HISTORY. The Cowboys were a heavy run team but Irvin more than held his own against everyone. If he was in a pass first league like today he would have had much better career stats. If he had played in a west coast system he would have put up huge numbers. I love Irvin.

My favorite catch is against the 49ers , it’s the first of the 3 championship games . It’s right before halftime and he catches a pass over the middle , I mean he gets crushed by two defenders and gets spun like a Helicopter propeller. The fact that Troy threw it knowing Michael would get crushed showed the confidence Troy had in him . What was truly amazing was Michael going over the middle and catching it knowing he was going to get crushed .

He was great at positioning his body between the ball and the defender. Maybe better than any receiver ever.

THE PLAYMAKER!!! At the time Michael Irvin had the Greatest nickname in sports. One of my all time favorite Cowboys.

The PLAYMAKER was one bad dude he definitely was a big part of the Cowboys success winning those 3 Super Bowls

Watching this after seeing the deeper your will speech!

#2 was a pretty sick catch lol, Playmaker and Harper are my two favorite Cowboys WR's, and Bullet Bob Hayes from the early days :)

I never realized, Aikman I think had the quickest/longest dropback I have ever seen. It's impressive how fast and far he shuffles back.

Some of his nine touchdown catches were incredible plays after catch

Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin were the greatest offensive trio of the 90's

That 90's Cowboy team was legendary. And I'm a Giants fan.. Those Battles brought joy to my child hood. I hated the Cowboys Yet Loved them as villains.

Irvin is such a nice jolly man in retirement that it's easy to forget what a killer he was on the field too.

Wow these plays happened when I was a child and not yet into sports real heavy but as a grown man and now a sports fanatic I can honestly say I appreciate the greatness we just witnessed in these highlights

I wish I could have been alive to see this guy

This guy just dominated the Steelers and they weren't even in the same conference, let alone divison. Guy was underrated. He was always over shadowed by Troy amd Emmitt. If he played in today's softer, high passing volume league his numbers would be crazy. Sad his career got cut short playing on philly's carpet over cement field.

Michael "Playmaker" Irvin is my all-time favorite NFL wr

Irvin was sensational!! He ate top DB's up!!!! Including D Sanders!!

Irvin was the heart & soul of the team, Troy was the unquestioned leader and Emmitt was the work horse, one of the best teams top to bottom ever.

I am SO happy to have found this video....my GOAT WR...MIKE!!!!

One of Miami’s 🙌🏽 many GOATS 🐐

Irvin was one of the last truly physical WRs out there. He wouldn't be able to use that to his advantage in today's game but his ability to get to the ball was pretty damn good. He'd be a star in any era IMO. A crying shame how his career ended.

Them 25 made my day...joy watching The PLAYMAKER

This proves why Michael Irvin is in the Hall of Famer because he was so resilient he was so determined and he was so precise and went Troy Aikman was throwing him the football you knew who was getting it number 88 Michael Irvin the playmaker the greatest of all time

Irvin is underrated asf. If it wasn’t for battling injuries his 1st 3 seasons and career ending injury in 99 then his numbers would’ve resembled t.o. or moss and then ppl would recognize him more as a top 3 wr, thankfully I already do regardless of that

He is an awesome analyst too, dude shows up on our Boston channel and provides some hot takes (notice he was faster than the CB's also)

The good old days.😄

I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan back when Roger Staubach was the quarterback and Tom Landry was the head coach. When Jerry Jones bought the team and let Tom Landry go I swore my allegiance as a Cowboys fan was gone. It didn't take long for me to change my mind thanks to what the Cowboys did in such a short amount of time under the new regime, even winning more Super Bowls in less years than the old regime did. It made me a Cowboy fan for life no matter what happens with them each season. Go Cowboys!

That's what fighting for the ball and great hands look like.

One of the great Dallas Cowboys players of all time 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A top three receiver, and top ten player, of the early 90s.

Dudes a fuckin legend

I am Niner, don't like them Boys, but this dude was unstoppable machine on the field. Always ready. PLAYMAKER forever. In the top ten players of his generation. Maybe top five. Pure class.

I always thought this was an official NFL channel. NFL THROWBACKS ARE AMAZING!!! Please keep them coming

Herman Moore #84 deserves some love too

Irvin was no doubt great…but props to those highly accurate Aikman passes.

These mainly show him getting open. They don't show his strength. That was what was so amazing: strength of a running back, with wide out speed.

Alvin Harper was a beast too!

Legend has it the Cowboys have continued to practice social distance for the super bowl ever since Michael retired

His Catch In Traffic stat was damn near 99

PLAYMAKER!

Amazing how Irvin will always be underrated

Michael was one of the best ever!!!!!

Watching this since he said you got to catch the ball with your body on undisputed.

I know this is Irvin's video but Some of these passes are straight dimes by Aikman

We need the classic Cowboys team back! Michael Irvin was a monster!

damn all you had to do was throw it up for Mike

The best receiver to ever play the game

The left hand bobble king 👑

I hate the cowboys I'ma saints fan all the way but you cant hate on this man one of THE GREATEST RECEIVERS WHO EVER PLAYED THE GAME MICHAEL IRVIN

You should have added the catch he made against the Redskins where the Cowboys came back in 1999 down 21.

One of the best wide receivers ever

Irvin the playmaker

Man DBs and coverages have improved a lot. Playmaker is still a man among boys and one of fav receivers bar none but these clips highlight how poor DBs we’re back then

4:22 nobody: John Madden: *that was a one handed touchdown*

Those were the days

One of the more all-around receivers could beat you deep get the tough 1st downs and go down middle.

G.O.A.T.

Wonderful!!!!

Just Great.

Unfortunately millions of sport fan's including Dallas Fans especially the younger fans seem to have forgotten or they just never knew about Mike,Mr.E.Smith,Troy, Too Tall, Jay N.and Mr. Norton and the rest of the best team that anybody has ever heard or seen before. And if your a true Cowboys Fan read about these these champions and don't forget Mr.Harper. Your welcome.

He was so big he was able to make those plays

PLAYMAKER is my favorite NFL player of all time along with Barry Sanders...

1:00 I own the jersey he’s wearing! 3 TD’s in that game.

RIP John Madden one of the Goats.

Not the fastest but had good hands and knew how to get open.

Irvin had magnetic fingertips

He looked pretty good

If Terrell Owens was around competent teams his whole career, this is how he'd look. Michael was amazing for an entire decade

And Darrell Green career highlight video

I cannot wait for a future "Crime in Sports" episode on Irvin.

Im born and raised in dallas! And Playmaker is a God here. 90s cowboys are

Yessir my Guy The playMaker

Yay my goat

Somebody had to mention the emmitt smith block on #6!

Awsome

Didn’t have great speed, but the hands were amazing. I remember he used to catch everything

In today's NFL Irvin would've gotten 2000 yards receiving in a season. A true Play Maker was and always will be Michael Irvin.

Top 10 WR. Change my mind.

As a New Yorker and a New York Football Giants fan , my top 12 football people of all time are, in this order : 1) Tie between Coach Bill Parcells and Coach Bill Bellichick 2) Tom Brady (respect for the GOAT) 3) Michael Irvin 4) Tie between John Elway and Drew Brees 5) Tie between Eli and Peyton Manning 6) Coach Mike Tomlin 7) Tie between Joe Montana and Ben Roethlisberger, 8) Coach Jimmy Johnson 9) Troy Aikman 10) Jerry Rice 11)Lawrence Taylor 12) Tie between Barry Sanders and Keyshawn Johnson (I was never a Jets fan but I loved Key's swagger). My favorite team owner is undoubtedly Jerry Jones ,the ultimate master of the game. I wish I had space for greats like O.J. Simpson,Thurman Thomas, Steve Young, Boomer Esiason,Jerome Bettis,Terrell Owens, Ochocinco, Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders ,Dan Marino,etc...Just my opinion..

Why not 50 like the others?

He might not be open but he will come down with the 🏈

Damm magic

IRVIN SCORED 2 TD'S IN SB 27 ONLY ONE MADE IT??? MY FAVE CATCH 1990 GWTD @ TAMPA. AND FAVE GAME LAST LANDRY WIN @ RFK 1988 IRVIN HAD 3 TD"S

Can't wait for Cris Carter and Sterling Sharpe.

Michael Irvin number 88 Dallas Cowboys greatest wide receiver of all-time alongside with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith triplets team of the early 90s from 1988 through 1993 era 2 Super Bowl championship 1992 and 1993 2 NFC Championship 1992 and 1993 🏈

The DALLAS COWBOY LEGENDARY, KING MICHAEL IRVING. ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT. HOW ABOUT THEM BOYS ❣️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💜

I Find It Ironic that All Of These Aren't Thrown By Troy Aikman, But ThatMeans He's Such a Great Wr that He Doesn't Need a All Pro Qb like Aikman

Beast, but we need to work on those celebrations lol
