Taking Pearsall was a stroke of pure brilliance.
FILE – Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall runs a drill at the NFL football scouting combine, Saturday, March 2, 2024, in Indianapolis. The former Florida standout is one of nearly a dozen receivers expected to be selected in the first two rounds of the draft beginning Thursday night. I have spent more hours than I care to count watching the NFL draft class of 2024.
Forget all that quantifiable stuff. Feel for the game that separates guys who can run and catch with guys who can consistently win at receiver. And finding a player with that feel — that innate understanding of space, time, and situation — makes folks who watch a lot of football feel something, too. Pearsall was easy to overlook amid a loaded wide receiver class this season. I know I didn’t give him his fair due until later in my evaluation process.
Florida’s offense was a mess this past year. Pearsall made it look competent at times. And his best routes, flare screens and intermediate digs, are the bread-and-butter concepts of a Shanahan offense.Of course, adding a receiver at this point in the draft raises questions about the current crop of receivers in Santa Clara.
