Irvin played college football at the University of Miami and was selected in the first round of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.

Irvin was nicknamed "Playmaker" due to his penchant for making big plays in big games during his college and pro careers, and he relished the nickname, even acquiring "PLY MKR" as his Texas vanity license plate. [He helped lead] the Cowboys to three Super Bowl championships in 1992, 1993, and 1995.

Irvin is widely considered to be one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. In 2007, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Hoping the Canes can get back to the level they were when Irvin was around.
