Last year was supposed to be the year. A party was planned, a celebration was in order. It ended in profound sorrow. Drew Pearson didn’t make the NFL Hall of Fame, again. He was caught in a viral video expressing his immense sadness.
On Saturday, that mistake is expected to be rectified. Pearson is the lone candidate for the senior’s committee, and as such he is expected to, finally, make the NFL Hall of Fame. Still, Pearson is being cautious.
“I’m still nervous but I am not as hyped up as I was last time,” said Pearson, who flew to Tampa on Friday to be on hand for the unveiling of the Hall of Fame Class of 2021 at the site of Super Bowl LV.
