Ricky Pearsall Summary:

The Positives

  • Good route running and cuts
  • Willing blocker
  • Despite trapping ball too much, hands are not liability
  • Seems to be a slightly above average athlete

The Negatives

  • Traps ball against body far too much
  • Does not play jump balls well or high point catches

Pearsall has the route running to be successful out of the slot. While he has the size to play outside, he does not possess the ball skills or athleticism to make a living there, so a true slot role is likely at the next level. He is a good blocker and has reliable hands when not trapping the ball with his arms. He is a day 3 pick with the potential to be a starter sooner rather than later.
