Welcome to the 88 club: Drew Pearson tells 97.1 The Freak about No. 88 group text

DALLAS — CeeDee Lamb is (deservedly so) one of the most talked about players on the Cowboys . He's even the topic of conversation of the "88 club," a group text message that apprently exists of Dallas' legendary No. 88's – Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, Dez Bryant and CeeDee Lamb.

Oh, and there is an honorary 88 club member: die hard Dallas Cowboys fan and Grapevine native, Post Malone. Pearson called into The Downbeat on 97.1 The Freak and told Mike Sirois, Danny Balis and Kevin "KT" Turner about the text group. Pearson was asked about Lamb's case for being the best receiver in football and he mentioned talking about Lamb's performance during Cowboys games in the 88 club group text.

"We text each other – me, Michael and Dez – during the game, and at one point after CeeDee scored that long touchdown, they're talking about McCaffrey, Dak, Jackson up in Baltimore, Tyreek Hill, all these guys that are potential most valuable player, but what about CeeDee Lamb," Pearson said.

"[CeeDee] has 122 catches. It took me about ... mmm ... four years to get that many." Listen to the conversation here : "We're proud of CeeDee wearing No. 88," Pearson said. Pearson joked that Lamb "better not pick that dang phone up at halftime" and respond to the 88 club group.
