Butch Davis compares Hakeem Nicks to Michael Irvin
Posted Apr 28, 2009
When Jerry Reese first talked about his first-round pick on Saturday, he didn’t take very long to compare Hakeem Nicks to Anquan Boldin. But Butch Davis, who coached Nicks at the University of North Carolina, went one step further. Nicks looks a little more like Michael Irvin to him. Davis should know, since he was on staff at both the University of Miami and with the Dallas Cowboys when Irvin was starring in both places.
