At the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, the legendary Dallas wide receiver Drew Pearson made a big effort to trolling Eagles supporters when he announced a Cowboys draft pick. Similar to what Jason McCourty did to Chiefs supporters on Friday night at the Kansas City 2023 NFL Draft. Pearson, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, approached the stage at Union Station on Friday, but he chose a different approach. In his tribute, Pearson recognized two famous Chiefs players. Pearson remarked, "I'm pleased to be in Kansas City for the 2023 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. "Of course, I come to you as a former Dallas Cowboy, but I also want to honor the legacy of the Kansas City Chiefs and some of its greatest players, like the great Otis Taylor and original owner, Lamar Hunt." Pearson continued by discussing the Cowboys and their owner Jerry Jones, but it was still admirable that he mentioned the Chiefs' past. Taylor, who passed away earlier this year, is still third in Chiefs history in terms of career receiving yards and touchdown receptions. Hunt formed the Chiefs team and came up with the term "Super Bowl."
