Dallas Cowboys: Drew Pearson’s reaction not getting into Hall of Fame heartbreaking

On Wednesday, the NFL announced the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Centennial Class for 2020. As part of the league’s 100th anniversary, a total of 15 former players, coaches, and contributors will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame this year. Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson was among the finalists.

In anticipation of getting the phone call telling Pearson he’d finally received the honor of entering the Hall, nearly 40 years after his playing career ended, TV cameras were allowed into his home to capture the moment early Wednesday morning.
