Pearsall wasn’t expected to go in the first round, but he is well suited to the 49ers’ offense, according to Bill Belichick, Robert Griffin III and others.
Ricky Pearsall #1 of the Florida Gators reacts after scoring a touchdown in the second half of the game against the South Carolina Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium on Oct. 14, 2023 in Columbia, South Carolina.
“Bro, he’s elite. You’ll see. Especially in that offense, Kyle is going to dial it up for him. That’s why I felt he was going to fit in our system. He’s nasty, bro. … I know routes and football players. When I watch him, at first, I was like, OK, he’s good. I’d seen him at Arizona State, and his first year at Florida was OK; this last year, he put it together. It’s everything combined. … I wanted him bad.”“Here’s the thing, you can’t play wide receiver in San Francisco unless you will block.
“Ricky Pearsall doesn’t just look like Travis Kelce, his game has the same flavor to it. He knows how to use leverage to get open, knows when he is open and catches everything. Pearsall adds more playmaking versatility to the most offensively volatile team in the NFL.”
