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?
