CBS Dallas/Fort Worth August 9, 2021 "The wait is over!" Drew Pearson, Dallas Cowboys' "Original #88," made his excitement known as he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame after waiting for over 30 years. Pearson was inducted into the shrine Sunday evening as a senior member. The former standout receiver for Dallas from 1973-83 was a three-time All-Pro who made the NFL's 1970s All-Decade Team. He was the only position player from that squad not in the hall. CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
