Three one-time Dallas Cowboys were selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame last night and Dak Prescott was named the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year, and Fort Worth native and Burleson High School grad Kelly Clarkson was mistress-of-ceremonies for it all.
To a mixture of good natured booing, cheers and laughs, Clarkson said "growing up I mostly just followed the Cowboys because they are America's Team. You're just booing because you're jealous you're not one of us. It's fine. We get it all the time."
Clarkson repped the Cowboys with a blue jersey sporting the number 88 worn by a number of great Dallas receivers like Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, Dez Bryant and CeeDee Lamb.
She also wore a skirt decorated with the names of many current Cowboys like Prescott, Elliott, Diggs, Pollard, Parsons, Lamb, Lawrence and Martin.
Clarkson is the first woman to host "NFL Honors", the televised Super Bowl week awards ceremony.
