Michael Irvin's football reference page: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/I/IrviMi00.htm

  • 1988: 14 games, 32 catches, 654 yards, 5 TDs
  • 1989: 6 games, 26 catches, 378 yards, 2 TDs
  • 1990: 12 games, 20 catches, 413 yards, 5 TDs

He was a former #11 overall pick at the time and I feel like any 1st rounder putting up those numbers would get lambasted. Was this the sentiment back then before he became a HOFer?

Yeah, I remember thinking we were so lucky to draft Brian Blades in the 2nd round who in his first four seasons was more productive than MI. But Irvin turned it around to become a HOF. Go Hawks
