Irvin noted on Instagram his father died of throat cancer at the age of 51. His brother, Vaughn, died in 2006 after being diagnosed with stomach cancer. The Dallas Cowboys legend said he’s still awaiting the results of his biopsy.
Since 2009, Irvin has worked as an analyst for the NFL Network. He spent his entire 12-year playing career with the Cowboys from 1988-99.
