Dallas Cowboys legend Drew Pearson put on a show with his draft pick announcement on Friday night.
Pearson, who played wide receiver for the Cowboys from 1973-1983, went straight after Philadelphia fans at the draft, knowing full well he would be booed by them. Take a look at his passionate announcement of the Cowboys’ second-round pick:

Pearson dropped a “How bout dem Cowboys!” on the Eagles fans, talked about their great owner Jerry Jones, and made mention of the five Super Bowls the team has won.
Pearson was as fired up as someone getting ready to run out of the tunnel onto the field for a game.
The Twitter reaction was great:
Absolutely loved it @88DrewPearson!! Let's go!!

Mr. Pearson seems like an introvert

Oh, and the Cowboys took CB Chidobe Awuzie, in case you missed that part.
