It’s done. Drew Pearson get his just rewards.
Drew Pearson’s Hall of Fame wait is over. The Cowboys legend and Hail Mary co-author has finally, rightfully, been elected to Canton.
Saturday, Pearson received the necessary 80%-plus vote for election from the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-member selection committee. As a Senior Finalist, Pearson’s candidacy was voted on separately from the other finalists.
Pearson’s election was announced Saturday during the “NFL Honors” award show on CBS.
Pearson, a Cowboys Ring of Honor member and one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, is the 20th person selected to the Hall of Fame based off their accomplishments with the Cowboys.
