Michael Irvin Pushes for Miami Talent in Cowboys Draft

0:00The Dallas Cowboys have made some off-season moves, but nothing too exciting yet, aside from owner Jerry Jones chasing Ed rusher, Max Crosby. With the 2026 NFL draft coming up in April, fans are buzzing about how to shake things up, especially at their 12th overall pick. Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, a Miami Hurricanes alum, showed up at Miami's pro day last week. He pulled a side-head coach Brian Schadenheimer and pushed hard to grab as many Hurricanes players as possible. Irvin's pitch hits right at Dallas's needs, like bolstering the Ed rush after some recent losses. The Hurricanes have standouts that could fit perfectly, drawing a lot of attention from Cowboys watchers. Top target Ruben Bain leads the pack as an elite Ed rusher, though his shorter arms might let him slide toward that 12th pick. Akeem Mesodor, ranked 20th overall by some scouts, brings a monster resume with 35.5 career sacks, including 12.5. Last year, Nickelback, Keanu Scott also shines, with big plays in his 1 Miami season.
