Cowboys Great Everson Walls will make appearance a Dodge City of McKinney Everson Walls is a former American football cornerback in the NFL, having played for the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, and the Cleveland Browns. During his 14 seasons, he was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. He was also a 3-time All-Pro selection. Walls won a Super Bowl with the Giants after the 1990 season. Walls was born and raised in Richardson, TX He was nicknamed "Cubby" and he was raised by his mother two miles from the Dallas Cowboys practice facility. He played football at Lloyd V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Texas, where he only played one year of football (senior year) and led the district in interceptions. Walls was determined to play college football, and after high school, he enrolled at Grambling State University. At the time, his girlfriend was related to an assistant coach, whom Walls called regarding a walk-on spot. Walls was eventually invited to training camp and impressed legendary coach Eddie Robinson, who arranged to meet with Walls' mother about granting Walls a scholarship. Walls received a full ride and did not disappoint, earning Division I-AA All-America honors while leading the nation with 11 interceptions his senior year. Pro scouts thought he was too slow for the NFL after he ran the 40-yard dash in a disappointing 4.72 seconds during workouts. Eventually, however, his hometown Cowboys signed him as an undrafted free agent, and he made an immediate impact, leading the league in interceptions with 11 during his rookie season. Coached by the legendary Tom Landry, Walls received a Pro Bowl invitation for his contributions. Surrounded by an already star-studded defensive unit, which included Randy White, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Harvey Martin, and Charlie Waters, Walls continued his outstanding play by leading the league in interceptions in two more seasons, in 1982 and 1985. In the history of the NFL, only he and Ed Reed have led the league in interceptions three times. Walls received Pro Bowl honors four times (1981, 1982, 1983 and 1985). During this period of time however, the Cowboys were unable to win a Super Bowl, as they lost the NFC title game in 1982 and fell short again in 1983 and 1985. Despite this, Walls remained one of the most feared cover cornerbacks in the league; eventually, quarterbacks were forced to stop throwing the ball to his side. He led the Cowboys in interceptions five seasons, tied with Terrence Newman for the most in franchise history. His 44 interceptions rank him second on the Cowboys career list. Walls will be at Dodge City of McKinney at 3:30 PM on January 2nd, 2013 joining other celebrities such as Drew Pearson, Randy White, Bill Bates, Tim Brown, Mike Jeffcoat, Mayra Leal, John Jay Saldi, Mandy Williams, Kevin Brooks, and Rock-n-Roll Band Midnight Empire.
