The announcement comes as a long-overdue honor for one of the league’s most dominant defensive backs, whose career was defined by elite playmaking, leadership, and a knack for making game-changing interceptions.
A Legacy Built on Excellence
Walls, who played for the Cowboys from 1981 to 1989, was a cornerstone of the team’s defense throughout the 1980s. Undrafted out of Grambling State University, he quickly made his mark in the NFL, leading the league in interceptions as a rookie—a rare feat that signaled the arrival of a true star.
Throughout his 13-season career, Walls racked up 57 interceptions, four Pro Bowl selections, and three first-team All-Pro honors. His most memorable moments include his 11-interception rookie season in 1981, his crucial role in the Cowboys’ defenses, and his leadership on the legendary “Doomsday Defense.”
In addition to his time in Dallas, Walls also played for the New York Giants (1990-1992), where he contributed to their Super Bowl XXV victory, and the Cleveland Browns (1992-1993) before retiring.
