49ers first rounder Ricky Pearsall is already seeing reps at multiple wide receiver positions and on special teams.
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is already showing he can contribute in multiple ways, which seems to be the standard for 49ers receivers. Thus far this offseason, the former Florida wide receiver has seen reps at multiple receiver positions and has also worked as a punt returner. Pearsall caught 65 passes for 965 yards and four touchdowns and also returned 11 punts for 126 yards , so he has experience in that department.
"We're getting him a lot of reps, getting a lot of different routes, trying all the positions and we've been really impressed with how he's started off," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said,When the 49ers drafted Pearsall at No. 31 overall, the rumblings grew about the future of wide receivers Deebo Samuel and, in particular, Brandon Aiyuk, who is in the middle of a contract dispute as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.

The Niners have used him at multiple receiver positions in the offense and as a punt returner, which is probably his best ticket to touching the ball early in his rookie year. The team wants Pearsall to be able to step in anywhere in case of injury, and he so far has proved plenty versatile, according to coach Kyle Shanahan.Pearsall had a strong week down in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl, beginning his trajectory towards the first round.
