"The incident occurred on February 7, when Pearce allegedly followed his ex-girlfriend's car and collided with it multiple times as she attempted to reach a police station. After fleeing the scene, he was eventually subdued by police."
"Pearce was selected by the Falcons with the 26th pick in the 2025 NFL draft and had a notable rookie season, recording 10.5 sacks."
James Pearce Jr. is not participating in the Atlanta Falcons' voluntary offseason workout program due to facing four criminal charges in Florida. These charges stem from an incident where he allegedly crashed his vehicle into one driven by his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce has a trial hearing set for May 4 and a dating violence hearing on May 6. The Falcons are monitoring the situation and have been in communication with Pearce's representation.
