Sedrick Irvin (born March 30, 1978) is a quality control, working with the running backs, for East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. He was previously the running backs coach for the University of Memphis.
Irvin played high school football at Miami Southridge High School and Miami High School, where he was named a USA Today All-American in 1995. He played college football at Michigan State where he was well known for his jukes and stutter steps while en route to 1,000 yard rushing seasons in each of his 3 seasons there. Irvin left MSU after his junior season with the fourth most rushing yards in school history to enter the NFL draft.
His Sophomore season in 1997 he ran for 1211 yards on 231 carries and scored 9 TD.
As a Junior in 1998 he ran for 1167 yards on 272 carries and scored 10 TD.
Irvin fell to the fourth round in the 1999 NFL Draft due to scouts citing that he was too slow for the NFL game. He proved those critics wrong when he led the Detroit Lions in touchdowns his rookie year while backing up James Stewart. After two years in which he was beset by injuries, the Lions let Irvin go. He signed with the Miami Dolphins in hopes of returning to the NFL, but never saw game time. He also played in NFL Europe and the Arena Football League where he played linebacker and fullback, both positions new to him.
