Pearson Wants Jones to Listen to Former Players on Ring of Honor

The Cowboys Ring of Honor is littered with star players and all-time greats but for so long fans have been vocal about one person who has yet to be given the honor: Jimmy Johnson. That sentiment is not lost on Dallas legend Drew Pearson, who has a message for team owner Jerry Jones. 

“Time for Jerry to put Jimmy in,” Pearson told The Dallas Morning News. “And (Ed) ‘Too Tall’ (Jones), Harvey Martin, Charlie Waters, John Niland. Look at their records. Come on. They’re all big contributors to Dallas Cowboys football history, as are other guys.

“The thing about it is we wish there was a Ring of Honor committee where we can offer suggestions to Jerry,” he continued. “You don’t have to do what we say; just listen to us, who we think we’re contributors to our success coming through the ’70s and ’80s.”
