On Saturday night, the original No. 88 finally got the call he’s been waiting decades to receive. The NFL has announced that former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Drew Pearson, will enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a Senior Committee pick.
The other end of the famous Hail Mary pass, Pearson went undrafted out of Tulsa in 1973. He would elevate himself from undrafted to a three-time All-Pro, a three-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl champion, and a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1970s.
