Dallas Cowboys: Who else should join Drew Pearson in the Hall of Fame?

The Dallas Cowboys will more than likely have a member inducted into the 2021 Hall of Fame class as the original 88 has made the ballot.

The Dallas Cowboys are front and center when it comes to the NFL spotlight but that has not stopped fans from voicing their concerns over Pro Football Hall of Fame voters. Retired Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson has been named as a senior finalist.

The interesting part is that the original No. 88 is the only player listed on the Senior list meaning that it’s almost a foregone conclusion that he will be nominated. In order to earn enshrinement, Pearson needs to collect 80% of the vote in order to receive the call to the Hall.

It is long overdue if you ask me. Pearson is a three-time Pro Bowl player who is also the only starter on the 1970’s All-Decade team not to be enshrined. It is also disturbing that the 1970 second-team All-Decade wide receiver, Harold Carmichael, was enshrined before Pearson.

It looks like the wait is over for Pearson who should be selected On February 6, 2021, and inducted sometime in August of 2021. The funny thing about this is that the 2020 class where Pearson should have been inducted will more than likely be combined with the 2021 class.

Now that it looks like Pearson is in, which other Dallas Cowboys should be inducted into the hall of Fame?

The first Dallas Cowboys player that tops my list should get the call to the hall is linebacker Chuck Howley. Howley is still the only player on the losing side to win Super Bowl MVP. He was also a six-time Pro Bowler but more importantly a six-time All-Pro.

Howley was the fourth player inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor. Howley was also a member of the Super Bowl XI Championship team.

Defensive end’s Harvey Martin and Ed “Too Tall” Jones are other groups of players that deserve to be enshrined into the Hall. Both players had larger than life personalities and both were members of the famed “Doomsday Defense”. Martin was also named as a co-Super Bowl MVP.

Safety Darren Woodson most certainly should in the Hall of Fame. The three-time Super Bowl Champion has everything going for him and everything going against him. The Superteam Dallas assembled in the early 1990s is certainly working against him as inferior players with fewer credentials at safety have leapfrogged him.

Defensive back Everson Walls is also another player victim of a certain play. Walls was the defender on that infamous “Catch” play that vaulted the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl while the Dallas Cowboys fell into the Abyss.

Walls is certainly deserving of getting the call after compiling 57 interceptions for the Dallas Cowboys and earning three All-Pro selections. Walls did not win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys but he did acquire one with the 1990 New York Giants team.

There seems to be a Dallas Cowboys bias when it comes to Hall inductions. I just hope that Drew Pearson is the plug that opens the flood gates.
