An extended version of 'The Knock' that Drew Pearson received to learn of his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2021.

He is finally immortalized in Canton it’s about damn time

[edwardvargas]

He didn't publicly show his frustration it was posted but he had a right to be upset. He's one of the reasons why the cowboys were called America's team....

I shed a tear for this finally happening. Drew Pearson was wronged for so long. NFL Hall of Famer Drew Pearson, congrats Sir.

[williamoleary]

I have to admit I cannot believe it took this long. I mean the guy was on an all decade Team and really was one of the great receivers
I am so happy for Drew, his family, and the Dallas Cowboys

[InvestBetter.]

Has anybody waited longer for "The Knock" than Drew Pearson?

[rshrsh]

For the life of me I DO NOT know why it took this man this long to finally get his just do. Growing up this man was one of the leagues perennial receivers.

[elongatedmusket]

I watched Drew when I was young, with Roger, and had great respect for each. Well deserved.

For the ones who hasn't seen this man play, his hands were amazing he cought just about every pass that came his way Pearson is amazing congrats DP.

Last year I cried for him when I saw how devastated he was to not be chosen. Earlier this year I cried when I saw this clip of him being notified that he was FINALLY selected. Tonight I watched his induction and cried again. He should have been selected 30 years ago. So happy for him and his Biggest Afro in the HOF!

WHO ELSE NEVER PLAYED PROBALL BUT STILL WANTS DAVID BAKER TO KNOCK ON THERE DOOR!?

[celsodominguez]

Thank you Drew Pearson for all the memories

[dentbiztraining]

Drew was so clutch. I still remember the clutch plays he made in the divisional round against Atlanta in 1980. He is amazing.

Grew up in the 50s and 60s, to me Drew Pearson is one of the greatest Receivers ever! Absolutely love this!❤

[InvestBetter.]

Back in the 70's football was played VERY differently.
How team throw the ball now is how they ran the ball back then.
Guys were allowed to do A LOT to you on defense, and hit you WAY harder
Back then, 50-60 receptions a season, with 800-900 yards, was doing work! And they only played 14 games

[topJimmyP]

He was the premier wide receiver of the 70s and early 80s, many great clutch plays and memories always was and will be now a Hall of Famer.

[JeffSmith-eqkc]

People too young to remember need to go back and watch Drew Pearson. Talent is an understatement. I'm not a Cowboys fan and he was a stud.

[seanbrown]

He was a bad man. Well deserved, should have been in sooner.

[TerryLane]

So many other deserving players who will have to wait another year. I'm happy for Drew to get in. Present and past, Drew Pearson #88 was my favorite above all.

[joannkelly]
