Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson can’t help but antagonize the crowds at the NFL Draft with his love for America’s Team.
Pearson has trolled the crowd at the draft in the past with his love of his Cowboys, and he returned to the stage in Kansas City to begin his heel turn anew.
While this year’s Cowboys taunting wasn’t nearly as raucous as his 2017 appearance, he still knew exactly how to rile up the crowd by talking just long enough about Dallas to stick.
If you’re a Cowboys fan, this is high comedy. If you’re a Cowboys hater, this is nails on a chalkboard. If you’re ambivalent … this is high comedy.
Never change, @88DrewPearson. 🔥

C’mon, how can you hate an NFL legend like Pearson still so gleefully courting the NFL Draft boo birds after all these years? He loves the team he played for, and he’s going to let the folks know it.
NFL Twitter couldn't help but toss out some reactions to Pearson's NFL Draft appearance.
Drew Pearson!
