Saturday night saw longtime Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson get the due that has evaded him for far too long. The Original 88 is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Pearson has obviously been associated with the number 88 being great in silver and blue longer than anybody else. Club 88 has become a thing for the Cowboys organization with Michael Irvin wearing it through his own Hall of Fame career, and Dez Bryant donning it while he caught more touchdowns than anybody else in franchise history. If CeeDee Lamb’s career builds off of the success that he had as a rookie, odds are he will one day join that illustrious group.
