I'm talking here about simple routes like a fade; if asked to run a post or a corner, he might be able to create separation during the break, but he might take too long to develop his route against NFL-caliber CBs.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against off-man coverage, he is very good because he has time to create stress on the CB, but he does not have the athletic ability to separate to attack the third level (deep), especially when lined up on the outside.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His head and shoulder fakes are elite; he has a very good ability to manipulate opposing CBs.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against zone coverage, Pearsall is very intelligent and knows when to sit in his route to give a viable option to his QB or create off-script opportunities.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pearsall has the ability to be a big problem on the first two levels (short and intermediate) of the field in the NFL.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pearsall has a big catch radius; he is capable of making absolutely magnificent acrobatic catches. Overall, he has excellent hands with good technique (only 6 drops in his career). His excellent concentration and elite eye\/foot\/hand coordination allow him to make the best adjustments to throws in his draft class.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don't think he's a receiver who will potentially rack up a lot of yards after the catch in the NFL, even though he can be creative in this area with good vision; he resembles more of a possession receiver. He could take balls on jet sweep-type plays because he has the moves to elude defenders, but his lack of speed and explosiveness, coupled with a lack of power to break tackles, will severely limit him in YAC situations or as a runner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In run blocking, Pearsall is very active, but here his lack of power will be a problem in the NFL; he also needs to work on his blocking angles and redirections, but overall, it's quite solid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ricky Pearsall is an interesting prospect because he has the tools to create stress in defenses and will have to be respected both on the outside and primarily in the slot. Even though he is not an elite athlete, he \"plays fast\" (Comparison to Cooper Kupp for playing fast but not being an elite athlete), and I attach a lot of importance to this quality coupled with his \"baller\" talents.<br \/>If he can simplify his game, there is no doubt that he will be an important element of an offense and could become a high-volume receiver.<br \/>I evaluate Pretty Boy Ricky, as my friend @FranceGators would say, as a talent in the 3rd round.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida (Senior) De retour pour cette \u00e9dition 2024 de la Draft NFL, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play vous propose \u00e0 nouveau de vous plonger au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e8nement gr\u00e2ce aux scouting reports de Rayane et Valentin.
