Dec 15, 2022 · Pearson, who started his pro football career as a punt and kick return specialist, earned the nickname “Mr. Clutch” because he always came through for the Cowboys in crunch time. An eventual three-time First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection, Pearson ran precise routes and caught anything Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw in his direction.
Pearson’s 870 receiving yards in his All-Pro season in 1977 led the NFL. He followed that regular season with seven catches for 113 yards in the postseason as the Cowboys won Super Bowl XII, one of his three Super Bowl appearances.
