On Aug. 8, when Drew Pearson is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, legendary quarterback Roger Staubach will present his former Dallas Cowboys teammate to those gathered in Canton, Ohio.
But, it turns out, Pearson is quite a presenter himself.
Tuesday at M’Tucci’s 25 restaurant, Pearson, a three-time All-Pro wide receiver and a member of the NFL’s 1970s All-Decade team, handed out awards to several of New Mexico’s most accomplished high school athletes.
