The Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, Ohio, is littered with Dallas Cowboys. Across several generations and dynasties, the Cowboys have 20 players, coaches, and front-office executives that made their primary contributions to the Dallas Cowboys. Even with a litany of members in the Hall of Fame, until last night, there had always been one name that was unjustly left out; Drew Pearson.
Pearson, who played for the Cowboys for 11 seasons from 1973 to 1983 was a three-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler. Pearson played in three Super Bowl games with the Cowboys and a part of the Super Bowl XII winning team that beat the Denver Broncos 27-10.
Pearson was an All-Decade selection to the 1970’s team but was the only member of that team that hadn’t been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

It’s an election that was a long-time coming and way past due. Pearson, the original “88,” set a standard and started a legacy that has carried on through fellow Hall of Fame member Michael Irvin, a recent star in Dez Bryant, and a star in the making in CeeDee Lamb.
Drew Pearson joins an illustrious 2021 class that features: Quarterback Peyton Manning, Wide Receiver Charles Johnson, Guard Alan Faneca, Safety John Lynch, Cornerback/Safety Charles Woodson, Coach Tom Flores, and Contributor Bill Nunn.
