At least Pearsall worked his tail off to get where he is. Unlike Collinsworth's son, who got his job because he's a nepo baby.

I love how everyone keeps comparing him to random white receivers.

"To me he's just like a young Joe Jurevicius!"

I think this is what Collingsworth was doing, albeit clumsily.

I bet he was described as "not the best WR but he's alright"

I've been saying the same thing since we drafted him! That was my comp Sanders (just not as twitchy)
Jordy Nelson 2.0

I don't think he's that at all. Nelson was a big body who would box out and muscle the ball away from people. Pearsall is faster in timed speed. He was known for his crisp routes and speed in College and it's very early so far. But that is what he looks like here. Routes, speed and hands. I don't know who you compare him to. But if there is a 49er from the past Emmanuel Sanders probably is the closest. Each guy is their own. So he will be somewhat different.

Can't he just be Ricky Pearsall. We always try to compare players to others . Just let him play fr awhile and see how he does.

That's a really good comp. Thielen is another guy who throws out sweet head fakes at the top of his stem or when he's running with the ball. Pearsall in the same way is so good at marrying his headfakes and footwork.

I feel like headfakes aren't utilized nearly enough by WRs nowadays. Everything seems to be feet-centric now. I feel like guys used to spam this s**t back in the day.


Anyone comping Pearsall to Jordy Nelson is trippin'.

That might actually be a pretty close comparison. If he can be that good it's great. Seems like Thielen was ALWAYS open and would catch EVERYTHING you throw at him. Not the worst thing to have by far in a WR.
I love this dude 🥲
Danny Abramowicz….boom

I really thought we'd make a run at signing him when he left Minnesota. He reminds me the most of Ricky, though Ricky looks quicker.

Yes, spot on Jordy Nelson or even Ricky Proehl.

Yes, he's a white wide receiver.

Thielen is a good comp. Eman is my comp. Size wise, speed, agility, route running, hands, all overal similar. Or we only comparing him to white guys?
