Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Drew Pearson, whose soft hands helped beat the Broncos in Super Bowl XII, kept the Lombardi Trophy from possibly falling to pieces. Pearson was carrying the $25,000 trophy during its Dallas-Fort Worth unveiling Thursday when an escalator he was on suddenly stopped, sending him lurching forward. Pearson can be seen in an online video disappearing from the screen, then emerging with the trophy unscathed. “It’s in good hands,” he said after the incident. “This is why they picked me, because they know I’m not going to drop this baby.”
