Trenton Irwin is an NFL wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. He is a Stanford University alum who was one of the best players on his side during his stay in college.

However, he went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft before the Miami Dolphins signed him to be a member of their practice squad. Irwin performed admirably with the Dolphins, showcasing his talent when allowed to participate in scrimmages.

However, Irwin wasn't going to play his first NFL game as a Miami Dolphin, but rather as a member of the Bengals.

The Bengals took a chance with Irwin, one that, till then, other NFL franchises were scared of taking. They signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2019. Irwin has been a member of the franchise ever since.

You might be forgiven for thinking that the NFL was Trent Irwin's first glimpse of the spotlight. But that is totally wrong.

Irwin appeared on the 2005 Bravo series 'Sports Kids Moms & Dads' with his sister Alyssa and father Craig. In that series, America was introduced to a young, shy, blond-haired, and ridiculously talented Trenton Irwin.

Trenton Irwin's father Craig Irwin was largely in the background showcasing his son on the Bravo series, and a key reason he turned pro after college. Craig Irwin is an ambitious man, one of those old-fashioned dads that never joked with hard work.

Trenton Irwin's father is a football coach at Hart High School, where he taught Trenton and his siblings the fundamentals of football. Craig knew that Trenton would not be a great shot caller.

So instead, he trained his son how to catch a pass from a young age. This training proved worth it, as the kid from Hart played in the 2021 NFL Super Bowl.

Craig Irwin is a good fellow who showcases his goofy side on social media. He has four children - Trenton, Alyssa, Shawn, and Ava, but till now, he has kept the Identity of his children's mother under wraps.

How is Trenton Irwin performing this season?

Trenton Irwin was one of the more popular American football kids in 2005, and his popularity grew with each episode of 'Sports Kids Moms & Dads'. He later attended Stanford, where he performed admirably during his stay.

However, NFL scouts were not impressed by his ability or upside at the time, so he went undrafted in 2019.

He was signed as a free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals and has been a member of the team since signing for the current Super Bowl runners-up. This season has seen him participate in just under a handful of games. He currently has a stat line of six receptions, 83 passing yards, and one interception in four games played.
