I was a die hard Steelers fan when Drew Pearson was playing, so I viewed him as the enemy. But I always feared and respected his talent. The man deserves to be in the hall of fame.
My thoughts exactly as a Steelers fan since the 70s I think I am most happy for him getting in today he was a heck of a player and a thorn in our sides when we played them.
I’ve never been a cowboys fan but if anyone on that team ever deserves to be in the HOF it’s Drew Pearson, keep your head up Drew the real fans know who you are....
Those who witnessed your talents know you are a Hall of Famer. For what it is worth. As one that watched your career. You deserve to be in that club in Ohio. No bitterness. You have respect of the fans and players that saw you play. What else truly matters? You won't be forgotten. Period.
Amen, how could they keep Pearson out. Some of these receivers that are in, God Bless Them, but they were no where near the talent Pearson. Sorry Drew this is travesty. What was l thinking. The NFL is a no more than another Big Business with all the politics like any other. I am a Raiders fan, but right is right.

Steeler fan born an raised in Pittsburgh..yea I'm happy Donnie Shell got in today but in all honesty...Drew deserves in.... shuda been in ...and this was hard to watch
Good for you, sir. As a huge Drew fan, I appreciate your appreciation. The funny thing is that I always felt that Donnie Shell was getting snubbed forever. Trust me, as a Cowboys fan--especially in the 70s, I had huge respect for that once in a lifetime defense. Not a one or two year great defense, but a defense that was nails for most of a decade. Congratulations to Donnie Shell.
Unfortunate. He and Cliff Branch should easily be in Hall. If youwatch old NFL films many of the most memorable games showcases Drew Pearson and Raiders Cliff Branch, players we will always remember and never forget. Especially in Big games.
Drew, you were my favorite player in the 70's. I remember one game against the Browns on MNF (I think we lost that game). You played very hard that day until the very end -- more than anyone else on the team. I remember you played so hard you had to vomit in the end zone after running a route. You have my respect. And thanks for all the great memories. You are a HOFer to all true Cowboys fans who saw you play and make things happen. Thank you!
As a giants fan who despises the cowboys this man should’ve been in the hall of fame about 20 years ago they keep robbing him of the opportunity to share that moment with his family
yes, the worse thing to see was the other year, yes he made it finally, but Jerry Kraemer waited 50 years to be able to walk on that stage, his parents and siblings never got to see it though.
This hurts my heart. I didn’t watch him play but we all know the feeling of utter disappointment. Someone else on the comments said it best: don’t spend your life waiting for other’s validation. Live your life with happiness and fulfillment knowing you did it your way. How many amazing scholars, inventors, warriors and artists only got their recognition posthumously. He looks like he has many great people around him so I know he’s lead a pretty good life. EDIT: just read as of August 2020 he’ll be inducted into the 2020 class!
Compare him heads up to other HOF receivers. He has less TDs yards and receptions then almost all of them. It was a great career but I can see why he hasn’t been inducted also.
DPEART6475 he probably didn’t deserve to be on the all decade team. The reality is, if you put Pearson on the field today he’d be just an average receiver. Not saying it’s right but that’s just how it goes these new voters never saw him play and crying about it won’t help him.
@@eatfarts3024 Drew Pearson is a part of 3 of the 10 greatest plays list in NFL history and you cannot mention the original Hail Mary play without his catch. Due to the media attention brought to him crying on this video he is assurred to get in. Hope your MLK Day went well.
As a well known serious Cowboy fan, Drew was definitely THE clutch receiver for us during his playing career and represented everything noble about the sport of football and the game of life. NEVER QUIT!

Surfer Bob bro...you have to realize it’s been 30 years he’s been waiting. Not only that this was the only thing he had to look forward to in football considering how short his career ended with his liver. Drew has more balls and achievements than you’ll ever have
Surfer Bob so he’s not allowed to let out anger, frustration, and sadness because he’s somehow not human? He’s a normal guy like the rest of us. He’s going through something which was very dear to his heart. Football is a large part of people’s lives like his and to be passed on year after year takes a toll on ppl. Don’t act like you’ve never released frustration, sadness, anger, or any other emotion in the heat of a moment. It’s happened to us all. And to shame him for his emotions is just childish. Get a life man.
@@greatvibesray2076 I felt John Stallworth, Lynn Swann, Art Monk, and Drew Pearson were all great wide receivers during their day. No doubt about it. The writers did Art Monk and Drew Pearson wrong for a long time.
rhdcheme except when at the draft in Philadelphia lol wonder if he wants to thank the eagles now for allowing him to have a career in the nfl harold Carmichael > Drew Pearson all day everyday.
@@romulodelmendo8361 Yep. I was a kid living in Dallas when got a chance to meet him in person in the 80s. I was able to take a (Polaroid) pic with him that he signed. Coolest thing ever! He was so nice with everyone. I think he smiled the entire time.
This broke my heart, I grew up watching Drew Pearson play, he was one of my favorite receivers. I was always amazed how he caught the ball across the middle of the field, as slim as he was. Route running the whole nine yards. He was always class personified and he's right there is nothing negative about his career, it's ashame the way the way that played out.
Right? Back in the late-1970’s and early 1980’s it was all about Drew Pearson, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Cliff Branch, John Jefferson, and Steve Largent.
I feel the same way that Fernando Valenzuela is not in the hall of fame but Dodgers fans are to busy with the Houston Astros instead of trying to help Fernando get to the hall of fame of baseball. This comes from a mexican Houston Astros fan!
@@CaptSpaulding239 I did and a gentleman by the name of Lynn Swann who played in the same era as Drew made the HOF with 5,462 yds and 51 tds. Drew had almost 2,500 more yards and 3 less TDs.
2ManyTattoos no. The Steelers won four Super Bowls. Swan didn’t win them alone. A player is measured on their individual achievements, other wise every player on every one of those championship teams should be in the hall of game. Or maybe that’s what you’re alluding to with your obvious Steelers bias.
The real 88! Drew Pearson has been nothing short of stellar for the Dallas Cowboys, the City of Dallas, the game of football itself, the N.F.L, the state of Texas and most importantly the Pearson family. We love you Mr. Pearson! You will always be a Hall of Famer to any real football fans. God did put you in Dallas for a reason and that is to be an example of poise, integrity, class, and determination that is unmatched .
The real hall of fame are the people on this thread that arent even cowboy fans, me included, that are here saying how all the wide recievers in the hall looked up to Drew Pearson... and he still isnt in it. Talk about a sham
This dont have a darn thing to do with heaven at all, this is a the man not getting in the Hall Of Fame. We do live on this earth & would love to get the good earthly things also before we go meet of higher power. Quit your job or give away your money & don't pay your bills & tell yourself the same thing you said.
I was born in 1999 way past his playing time, but i grew up watching old school games and knowing who drew was... i cried this day knowing he didn't make it... but the day he did man... happiest moment of being a cowboys fan!! LONG OVER DUE
Sucks this generation won’t know who this was, truly one of the best to ever do it. He has every right in the world to angry, Deion Sanders was right when he said they just giving out Jackets.
SuperSuperman Pearson. You were like the 3rd comment shown on my comments. Happy to flatter though! But besides that. Hes not even considered on the ranking system. Hes about 20 pts shy of the avg wr in HOF
Mike Jay lol respect! But out of his entire all decade team he’s the only one not inducted plus out of the 17 WR’s there’s only three that have had more all pro awards than him. He have to remember the era he played in. He played a huge role in it and him Roger Staubach made the Hail Mary! I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think you’re looking at all the facts
I still can't believe he's been lamenting over this for 30 years!! Man, you have what appears to be a beautiful family. If everyone is in decent health, then be happy. Your soul can't be fulfilled by mere mortals.
Mr. Pearson I remember watching you play. You were the epitome of grace when you caught the ball. As upsetting as this is to you, be mindful of the fact that there are a lot of players who may be HOF worthy, but are not in. True fans who saw you play can acknowledge how good you were. You can walk and speak coherently Many former players today suffer from brain injuries. Be thankful you can walk and speak clearly. Always remember many were not good enough to play in the NFL, but you were and you had a stellar career...
Brother man you got to understand something if he's crying that's cuz he put his sweat and tears into the NFL oh, but you see to be in the Hall of Fame you got to beat your wife, or beat somebody else's wife or shoot her in the stomach is she carrying somebody else's child instead of her husband's child or run in illegal dog fighting operation if the dog don't fight well in the ring stick a hot poker up his ass and that'll make him perform better the next time, oh yeah and shoe stripping the head for not giving you a b******* at a nightclub in Miami says he didn't do all that he don't qualify because the NFL if the official wife-beating Sports League Cabo yeah I forgot to mention the NFL don't pay a dime in taxes since they are nonprofit organization those f****** boosters and alumni dies and club Owners they are the real criminals here this this man is not acting for nothing he didn't earn in the fact that he's crying show that he's a real f****** man
Houston Asterisks super bowl champion and multiple first team all pro you fucking idiot he played in the 70’s guys in the 90s and 00’s would be considered “has beens” this guy accomplished it all have some respect ass wipe.
Big Bucks Harold Carmichael perfected the back shoulder fade he was unstoppable he was better and more influential to the game just watch the tape and look at the stats. Meanwhile Drew Tearson is crying.
Drew Pearson is one of the greats back in the day.and I'm Pittsburgh that Dallas team was just as good Pittsburgh. Lynn and stallworth. Pearson needs to be there too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Datonerman26 I would be considered an"OG" and I remember when Drew Pearson came out of the University of Tulsa.He came out in the" 73" draft class as a undraft player because he played Quarterback in college.They converted him to wide receiver because they really didn't want black players as a Quarterbacks back then.
To be honest I thought he was in the hall of fame like he was great during his career with roger stabach and one of the reasons why they won Super Bowls in the 70s
@John Pottorgg What you're saying dosen't make sense. There's no way I'm going to spend 30 yrs waiting for someone to validate my work. Who care if less are in?? Life isn't fair either. Drive on!
Mr Pearson my dad was watching you when he was in his younger days, from how highly he speaks of your playing abilities you sir are a for sure a hall of famer 🙏 God Bless.
That’s how they do black players. They don’t this with the white players! They give them their flowers while they are here and praise them for being one of the the greats. That way they can make money off of the fame. We have to die first. The NFL is not fair to black players!
I watched you and the Cowboys play as a child and growing up! You definitely should be in the Hall of Fame. You were a great wide receiver and you're an even better man. God bless you!
You have the right to be upset Drew, this just doesn't make any sense. And I can tell you this I was upset when Dallas gave Irvin your number. We love you man. I'm so sorry. god bless you and your family.
Mr Drew, I cant tell u why after 30 years u not there yet. But what I know is : u were and still are the best.God will open that door brother, it will be beautiful.
Bro the fact that he didn’t get in the hall of fame in the 80s or 90s is mind blowing this dude was elite in his era and ima eagles fan this is a shame he’s way fuckin over due
He is a legend he's also the classiest guy I've ever met in my life! Agree Rodger would have been Rodger without an outstanding receiver like Drew! The 90s Cowboys can only wish they were as good as the 70s Cowboys! Hall of Fame put this man in as soon as possible it's an injustice that everybody else is in there before him especially the 90s Cowboys like Jimmy Johnson Troy Aikman Michael Irvin and all those Jokers what a joke!
Well Terrell Owens, if that is what TO means, I mean dude really is top 10 all time, maybe Arguably top 5. Rice. C. Johnson Moss. (Owens, Largent, Hutson, Carter)

Steeler fan born an raised in Pittsburgh..yea I'm happy Donnie Shell got in today but in all honesty...Drew deserves in.... shuda been in ...and this was hard to watch
Go Steelers
Good for you, sir. As a huge Drew fan, I appreciate your appreciation. The funny thing is that I always felt that Donnie Shell was getting snubbed forever. Trust me, as a Cowboys fan--especially in the 70s, I had huge respect for that once in a lifetime defense. Not a one or two year great defense, but a defense that was nails for most of a decade. Congratulations to Donnie Shell.
Almost every position from both squads there were hall of famers! Greatest two teams for a super bowl ever!
From one Steeler fan to another you are absolutely right.
Very very hard to watch its like you feel his pain just looking. These guys are very passionate and serious about their profession.
Unfortunate. He and Cliff Branch should easily be in Hall. If youwatch old NFL films many of the most memorable games showcases Drew Pearson and Raiders Cliff Branch, players we will always remember and never forget. Especially in Big games.
Drew, you were my favorite player in the 70's. I remember one game against the Browns on MNF (I think we lost that game). You played very hard that day until the very end -- more than anyone else on the team. I remember you played so hard you had to vomit in the end zone after running a route. You have my respect. And thanks for all the great memories. You are a HOFer to all true Cowboys fans who saw you play and make things happen. Thank you!
As a giants fan who despises the cowboys this man should’ve been in the hall of fame about 20 years ago they keep robbing him of the opportunity to share that moment with his family
yes, the worse thing to see was the other year, yes he made it finally, but Jerry Kraemer waited 50 years to be able to walk on that stage, his parents and siblings never got to see it though.
Who’s here after he just made the Hall of Fame in 2021
🖕
This hurts my heart. I didn’t watch him play but we all know the feeling of utter disappointment. Someone else on the comments said it best: don’t spend your life waiting for other’s validation. Live your life with happiness and fulfillment knowing you did it your way. How many amazing scholars, inventors, warriors and artists only got their recognition posthumously. He looks like he has many great people around him so I know he’s lead a pretty good life.
EDIT: just read as of August 2020 he’ll be inducted into the 2020 class!
It makes my heart sing Giants for life fuck the cowgirls
Wow...Im a 49er fan. But Mr. Pearson deserves to be in the HOF his career was on 🔥.
Both Craig and Pearson should be in the HOF..Cowboys fan!
Compare him heads up to other HOF receivers. He has less TDs yards and receptions then almost all of them. It was a great career but I can see why he hasn’t been inducted also.
Glad this Man got in today definitely need his passion in the Hall of Fame.
I love when they care so much. He deserves to be in. I feel his passion that’s what he brought to the field.
men will fail you, but know God never will which is why he said "put no trust in man".... hold your head up sir!!!!
RESSPECT YES SIR AMEN
Amen
Thank you, Jeanine for your kind words of expression.
Jeanine Ruggs I need this as well. Thank you
@@HoneybeeApiary to God be the glory..... Amen
Definitely deserves to be voted in. Football was different back then. He was the best receiver of one of the best teams during his playing days.
He got in! 2021!
If I were Drew, I'd be upset too! He DESEVRES it!
Crying about it won’t help him get in. Harold Carmichael deserved it more he was a better player it’s that simple
@@eatfarts3024 Pearson is the only person on the All Decade team not in the Hall of Fame. How do you explain that?
DPEART6475 he probably didn’t deserve to be on the all decade team. The reality is, if you put Pearson on the field today he’d be just an average receiver. Not saying it’s right but that’s just how it goes these new voters never saw him play and crying about it won’t help him.
Ty Jones make me bitch
@@eatfarts3024 Drew Pearson is a part of 3 of the 10 greatest plays list in NFL history and you cannot mention the original Hail Mary play without his catch. Due to the media attention brought to him crying on this video he is assurred to get in. Hope your MLK Day went well.
He's the original playmaker before michael irvin and Dez bryant
This is fucked up all the way up.
Dez bryant😂😂
Drew Pearson pushed off
@@MJScoutArchMar Michael Irvin pushed off as well.
The best WR on the Dallas Cowboys is known for wearing the 88
As a well known serious Cowboy fan, Drew was definitely THE clutch receiver for us during his playing career and represented everything noble about the sport of football and the game of life. NEVER QUIT!
This is why I don’t like this fake NFL anymore, they don’t have this man in the HOF a shame who do they think roger staubach threw the ball to ?
Yeah Brother and Sister your preaching to the Choir, and it true, be Bless bye our Lord Jesus Christ is Love, my "⭐ Dallas Cowboys 🏈🖖💓
The NFL treat our Brother from the 1960's and 1970's football ares .so bad , God see this , they put life on line, for them and what do they get returned, pain ,sickness and heart attack.
God Bless you, Drew Pearson, your my favorite WR" Because, I'm a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan .
Peace and Soul,
Brother and Sister in Christ Jesus 💞⭐

@Surfer Bob I was a Pearson fan until seeing this. He is being a p*ssy on camera.
Surfer Bob bro...you have to realize it’s been 30 years he’s been waiting. Not only that this was the only thing he had to look forward to in football considering how short his career ended with his liver. Drew has more balls and achievements than you’ll ever have
Surfer Bob so he’s not allowed to let out anger, frustration, and sadness because he’s somehow not human? He’s a normal guy like the rest of us. He’s going through something which was very dear to his heart. Football is a large part of people’s lives like his and to be passed on year after year takes a toll on ppl. Don’t act like you’ve never released frustration, sadness, anger, or any other emotion in the heat of a moment. It’s happened to us all. And to shame him for his emotions is just childish. Get a life man.
@@Rico-hb1rz Imagine Dick Butkus being caught on camera balling like a p*ssy like Drew was.
That's right. Nobody can imagine it.
He should've went in way before Jerri Jones
U spelled jerry name like Jerri curl. Lol
I 100% agree with that.
I concur.
@@TexasTough1836 I concur.
How the hell did jerri get in !!
I’m sorry drew. You are in my hall of fame homie.
Grew up a Steelers fan but think Drew has earned his way into the HOF. Sad
Theres no Dallas 88 without drew just like theres no Steelers 88 without SWANN
Same here...DP earned his spot in Canton...the voting system needs changed...badly
I'm A Redskin fan , & I agree with you 100%
Blessings to you , & your love ones
@@greatvibesray2076 I felt John Stallworth, Lynn Swann, Art Monk, and Drew Pearson were all great wide receivers during their day. No doubt about it. The writers did Art Monk and Drew Pearson wrong for a long time.
@@toddsands6000 Facts
Drew your a HOF'er to me. One of my earliest childhood heros. God bless you and your family
Long overdo. Congratulations to one of the best wide receivers in NFL history. Mr. Clutch.
He really maintained his composure well. It's a shame.
He was always classy - on the field and off.
Money Bags that’s how he played the game
rhdcheme except when at the draft in Philadelphia lol wonder if he wants to thank the eagles now for allowing him to have a career in the nfl harold Carmichael > Drew Pearson all day everyday.
Ro Sho he’s passionate/competitive.. gave his heart to the game & wants his validation for it . He didn’t trash anyone or say anything negative 🤷🏾♂️
@@romulodelmendo8361 Yep. I was a kid living in Dallas when got a chance to meet him in person in the 80s. I was able to take a (Polaroid) pic with him that he signed. Coolest thing ever! He was so nice with everyone. I think he smiled the entire time.
Randy Gradishar was 6x all pro, 7x pro bowl and NFL defensive player of the year in 1978 and he's not in. Now that's criminal.
Amen...
Gradishar was only 2X ALL-PRO... Probably why he’s not in... Nice try tho, great career...
@@donovanwalkerjr 2nd team is still all pro. 2 time first team. No trying at all.
Lee Major... Understood, sir... My point is tho, most HOF’ers have PLENTY OF 1st TEAM ALL-PRO under their belt...
@@donovanwalkerjr Of course, but when Harold Carmichael just got in, all arguments against lose some weight.
This broke my heart, I grew up watching Drew Pearson play, he was one of my favorite receivers. I was always amazed how he caught the ball across the middle of the field, as slim as he was. Route running the whole nine yards. He was always class personified and he's right there is nothing negative about his career, it's ashame the way the way that played out.
That why because it's nothing bad to say about him
Right? Back in the late-1970’s and early 1980’s it was all about Drew Pearson, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Cliff Branch, John Jefferson, and Steve Largent.
This is wrong on every level. He should have been in HOF long ago.
Yup another one is joe jocoby,hof committee is a joke.
I definitely agree. I grew up watching him make some great catches. He's definitely a Hall of famer.Period
I feel the same way that Fernando Valenzuela is not in the hall of fame but Dodgers fans are to busy with the Houston Astros instead of trying to help Fernando get to the hall of fame of baseball. This comes from a mexican Houston Astros fan!
Fact's
Blessings to you , & your love ones
Fuck the nfl
Hated the Cowboys but Drew Pearson definitely is a HOFer.
I just Wiki this guy. The HOF must be smoking those jackets.
Not really. Look at the stats for hof wide recievers. He was mid grade. 8000 yards in 10 years isn't worthy of the hall in my opinion.
2ManyTattoos Obvious Steelers fan boy.
@@CaptSpaulding239 I did and a gentleman by the name of Lynn Swann who played in the same era as Drew made the HOF with 5,462 yds and 51 tds. Drew had almost 2,500 more yards and 3 less TDs.
KonaSaint504
Didn't Swann win 4 super bowls?
2ManyTattoos no. The Steelers won four Super Bowls. Swan didn’t win them alone. A player is measured on their individual achievements, other wise every player on every one of those championship teams should be in the hall of game. Or maybe that’s what you’re alluding to with your obvious Steelers bias.
My heart goes out to Drew Pearson. I hope he is inducted into the HOF while he is living. Must definitely hurt not to be selected as of yet.
i just read a comment here he was inducted for 2021 .
Should have been in wayyyyy before this sad!!!!!!!!!!
2021!!! Congrats on finally getting in!!!
The real 88! Drew Pearson has been nothing short of stellar for the Dallas Cowboys, the City of Dallas, the game of football itself, the N.F.L, the state of Texas and most importantly the Pearson family.
We love you Mr. Pearson! You will always be a Hall of Famer to any real football fans.
God did put you in Dallas for a reason and that is to be an example of poise, integrity, class, and determination that is unmatched .
If I remember correctly Drew was the recipient of the original “Hail Mary” last second pass that defeated the Vikings in the 1975 playoffs.
so?
U are right.😊
That was a sham he pushed Nate Wright to the ground .Refs blew that call .
Don’t remind me
Yes, he was,. AN amazing catch. I love to go on youtube and re-watch some of his games.
I'm Steelers nation! 52 yrs old. Drew belongs in the hall of fame!!! This man was a great football player. Respect!!!🤗🙏🙏
Makes no sense what so ever. Watched him play in many games and he caught passes I could not believe. Very disappointing.
Bgo
He’s going in tho. He made it.
Exactly! Every Sunday all he did was catch 🏈
Fact's
Blessings to you , & your love ones
I looked up his stats and he only caught 40-60 passes a year. There are receivers who caught 80-90 per year who arent in so what's he crying about?
The real hall of fame is up in heaven not Canton OH.
The real hall of fame are the people on this thread that arent even cowboy fans, me included, that are here saying how all the wide recievers in the hall looked up to Drew Pearson... and he still isnt in it. Talk about a sham
@@valeriefolse9452 Im a Baltimore Colts fan and he was screwed!!!
Colossians 3:2 set your affections on things above, not on the earth .
The afterlife is not the hall of fame, because everyone will die but not everyone will get a bust in Canton, Ohio.
This dont have a darn thing to do with heaven at all, this is a the man not getting in the Hall Of Fame. We do live on this earth & would love to get the good earthly things also before we go meet of higher power. Quit your job or give away your money & don't pay your bills & tell yourself the same thing you said.
I was born in 1999 way past his playing time, but i grew up watching old school games and knowing who drew was... i cried this day knowing he didn't make it... but the day he did man... happiest moment of being a cowboys fan!! LONG OVER DUE
Sucks this generation won’t know who this was, truly one of the best to ever do it. He has every right in the world to angry, Deion Sanders was right when he said they just giving out Jackets.
If that were the case buddy would have one.
Mike Jay Would I?
Mike Jay lol I feel special that you chose me outta all the comments Mike
SuperSuperman Pearson. You were like the 3rd comment shown on my comments. Happy to flatter though! But besides that. Hes not even considered on the ranking system. Hes about 20 pts shy of the avg wr in HOF
Mike Jay lol respect! But out of his entire all decade team he’s the only one not inducted plus out of the 17 WR’s there’s only three that have had more all pro awards than him. He have to remember the era he played in. He played a huge role in it and him Roger Staubach made the Hail Mary! I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think you’re looking at all the facts
I'm not a Cowboys fan, but Drew Pearson should have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago.
I still can't believe he's been lamenting over this for 30 years!! Man, you have what appears to be a beautiful family. If everyone is in decent health, then be happy. Your soul can't be fulfilled by mere mortals.
1000% as I’ve said in my comment above. Personal accolades shouldn’t mean that much to a team player. Certainly not a good one with a life that he has
Drew you're a Hall of Famer in my book. Thank for the memories
Mr. Pearson I remember watching you play. You were the epitome of grace when you caught the ball. As upsetting as this is to you, be mindful of the fact that there are a lot of players who may be HOF worthy, but are not in. True fans who saw you play can acknowledge how good you were.
You can walk and speak coherently Many former players today suffer from brain injuries. Be thankful you can walk and speak clearly. Always remember many were not good enough to play in the NFL, but you were and you had a stellar career...
Drew Pearson should be in the HOF. He should have been in there a long time ago!!
Before Irvin as well...
He should’ve been in the hall a LONG time ago. Feel ur pain
Brother man you got to understand something if he's crying that's cuz he put his sweat and tears into the NFL oh, but you see to be in the Hall of Fame you got to beat your wife, or beat somebody else's wife or shoot her in the stomach is she carrying somebody else's child instead of her husband's child or run in illegal dog fighting operation if the dog don't fight well in the ring stick a hot poker up his ass and that'll make him perform better the next time, oh yeah and shoe stripping the head for not giving you a b******* at a nightclub in Miami says he didn't do all that he don't qualify because the NFL if the official wife-beating Sports League Cabo yeah I forgot to mention the NFL don't pay a dime in taxes since they are nonprofit organization those f****** boosters and alumni dies and club Owners they are the real criminals here this this man is not acting for nothing he didn't earn in the fact that he's crying show that he's a real f****** man
Why are u black

Get this man in the hall of fame, what a disgrace to him, his career, his family and the NFL

Derek Savage How did he Disparge your family
Derek Savage your making shit up wtf lmao
He in there now! #2021
The man deserves it cowboys need to make a call to the guy and get it done
"You a hall of fame in my book"
Mine too.
"Cant catch no more damn passes! Cant run no more routes." Damn that hit deep
I was finna write the same comment but you beat me too it lol.
He is the best 88 that cowboys ever had, it's a shame Jerry Jones doesn't retire his number, Drew was one of best WR ever to play.........
If they retired the number for him they would have to retire the number for Michael Irvin bro.
As of August 2020 they announced he’s in. He’ll be inducted 2021
At last you're in Drew! You were my favorite Cowboy player when I was a kid. Big time catches in big time games.
The original 88!
the original dynamite 88 Oldsmobile.
Just broke news: he is now in Canton
Don't put him in posthumously. He deserves it. Put him in.
exactly
Yeah change the rules just for this whiny cry baby has been
Houston Asterisks super bowl champion and multiple first team all pro you fucking idiot he played in the 70’s guys in the 90s and 00’s would be considered “has beens” this guy accomplished it all have some respect ass wipe.
Big Bucks Harold Carmichael perfected the back shoulder fade he was unstoppable he was better and more influential to the game just watch the tape and look at the stats. Meanwhile Drew Tearson is crying.
He pissed off someone with power. Drew was the Sh#t, no Drew, no Roger!!!!!
absolutely true and im not a Dallas.
If this is true the only person that could wield that kind da power is JJ 🏟
So the question would be how did he piss him off 🤔🏈
#iftrue
Drew Pearson is one of the greats back in the day.and I'm Pittsburgh that Dallas team was just as good Pittsburgh. Lynn and stallworth. Pearson needs to be there too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can't lie I'm a die heart dolphins fan but the og talk about him heavey
Datonerman26 I would be considered an"OG" and I remember when Drew Pearson came out of the University of Tulsa.He came out in the" 73" draft class as a undraft player because he played Quarterback in college.They converted him to wide receiver because they really didn't want black players as a Quarterbacks back then.
By the way I've been a Dolphins fan since 71.
As a Dolphins fan. Do you think Dick Anderson, Jack Scott, Mark Clayton, Mark Duper and Bob Kuechenberg should be in the hall of fame.
@@curtislawson580 And a year later you had one of the greatest years of your life. You saw perfection.
To be honest I thought he was in the hall of fame like he was great during his career with roger stabach and one of the reasons why they won Super Bowls in the 70s
They finally got it right, happy for this man... i felt that pain
DREW PEARSON NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME THAT'S CRAZY COWBOYS NATION STAND ALL THE WAY UP 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠💪💯
he finally got the call
You got that right!
He got in? Or like the final call like dead
I would have hung up in their face
Never let me see u cry; can’t nobody brake u but u! 💪🏾
EXACTLY! 💯👍🏾💯
He deserves the H.O.F. no question about it
30 years??...Why is he still seeking validation from the NFL 30 years later??...🤔
Because he should be in it,while I hate the cowboys he should be in
Thank you I could not agree more
@John Pottorgg What you're saying dosen't make sense. There's no way I'm going to spend 30 yrs waiting for someone to validate my work. Who care if less are in?? Life isn't fair either. Drive on!
Pride, that's why
@John Pottorgg That's not competitive fire, that's pride.
He's a Hall of Famer in my book, that's for sure.
Mr Pearson my dad was watching you when he was in his younger days, from how highly he speaks of your playing abilities you sir are a for sure a hall of famer 🙏 God Bless.
There’s only one number 88. And he’s still a hero in every true Cowboys fan’s eyes!!!
Randy Thompson yeah Michael Playmaker Irvin
Three actually. Dont forget Michael Irvin and Dez. He is the original though
This man was a heck of player when I was growing up. They shouldn’t deny him being in the Hall Of Fame.
Preach 💯
Sad thing they'll put him in after he passes watch smh that's b.s
I know😭😭😭very sad
That’s how they do black players.
They don’t this with the white players!
They give them their flowers while they are here and praise them for being one of the the greats.
That way they can make money off of the fame.
We have to die first.
The NFL is not fair to black players!
@@VzpVzp-lh1qo i agree🖒
True
Definitely deserving. One of the best at the time. Staubach to Pearson, money in the bank.
I watched you and the Cowboys play as a child and growing up! You definitely should be in the Hall of Fame. You were a great wide receiver and you're an even better man. God bless you!
You have the right to be upset Drew, this just doesn't make any sense. And I can tell you this I was upset when Dallas gave Irvin your number. We love you man. I'm so sorry. god bless you and your family.
Mr Drew, I cant tell u why after 30 years u not there yet. But what I know is : u were and still are the best.God will open that door brother, it will be beautiful.
Bro the fact that he didn’t get in the hall of fame in the 80s or 90s is mind blowing this dude was elite in his era and ima eagles fan this is a shame he’s way fuckin over due
He's in! Class of 2021.
He is a legend he's also the classiest guy I've ever met in my life! Agree Rodger would have been Rodger without an outstanding receiver like Drew! The 90s Cowboys can only wish they were as good as the 70s Cowboys! Hall of Fame put this man in as soon as possible it's an injustice that everybody else is in there before him especially the 90s Cowboys like Jimmy Johnson Troy Aikman Michael Irvin and all those Jokers what a joke!
Smh the NFL HOF is a joke. Put this man in the the Hall already. How TF Edgerrin James get in before him? TF?
He aint wanting validation, he wants the moment with his family, he is pissed because they whispered in his ear ,you are in this year.... fuck nfl
How did Edgerin James get in at all??
The smoking crack,,,he was awesome
James is in the Hof how
@Peter Hernandez yes it is
I'm a Steelers fan n yes he should be in the Hall. And while he's here to know it.
Well he did it today
He was so pissed 😤 I lowkey had to google him
Drew deserves it more than Landry and Staubach, he scored more touchdowns than either one lol....
Absolutely!!!
