Walls, known for his exceptional ball-hawking skills and clutch performances, spent the majority of his career with the Cowboys, becoming a cornerstone of their defense throughout the 1980s.

His ability to read the game, anticipate plays, and make game-changing interceptions earned him the respect of fans, teammates, and opponents alike. Now, after years of being on the cusp, he is finally receiving the ultimate recognition in Canton, Ohio.

A Career Defined by Excellence

Undrafted out of Grambling State University, Walls defied the odds, making an immediate impact in the NFL. He led the league in interceptions as a rookie in 1981 and continued to be a dominant force throughout his 14-year career. His impressive resume includes:

  • 57 career interceptions (ranking among the all-time leaders in Cowboys history)
  • Four Pro Bowl selections
  • Super Bowl champion (XXV) with the New York Giants
  • Three-time NFL interceptions leader

Walls’ ability to step up in big moments and shut down elite receivers made him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. His leadership and impact on the game extended beyond statistics, inspiring future generations of defensive backs.
