Hall of Fame wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin revealed for the first time publicly that he was offered a brand new Camaro when he was being recruited as a high school senior.

On Wednesday's Dan Patrick Show, Irvin said he was recruited by a number of schools including LSU, Syracuse, Indiana, Michigan State and Florida State before signing with Miami in 1985. 

When asked what was the biggest gift he was offered during the recruitment process, Irvin laughed.

"One of the recruiters was driving me home in a new Camaro and he said, 'Isn't this a nice car? It is yours, all you have to do is sign with us," Irvin revealed. 

Although Irvin did not reveal which school offered him the new car, he denied it was LSU. When asked by Patrick if it was Florida State, Irvin laughed again stating "Stop that, don't you know I have had enough practice with lawyers? You can't get me with that."

Irvin excelled at Miami, setting school records for career receptions (143) and touchdown receptions (26). He was part of Miami's 1987 national championship team.
