Drew Pearson had to wait a long time to earn enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but the wait was worth it. “I'm just excited that it happened,” Pearson said. “To me, it didn't matter when it happened. Yes, I was disappointed a few times and wondered why, but I know it's a tough process and I've survived that process and I'm a Pro Football Hall of Famer now. That's all that matters. Whatever happened before doesn't matter.”
After a long wait, Cowboys receiver Drew Pearson has been selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is the 20th player, coach or executive in team history to earn enshrinement. Pearson was selected as a Senior Committee pick. He was a member of the 1970s All-Decade team and recorded 489 catches for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdowns in his 11-year career. He was a three-time All-Pro and caught at least one pass in a team-record 22-straight playoff games.
