"When then-rookie 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot in Union Square in a robbery gone wrong in August of 2024, Pearsall not only made a miraculous recovery after a bullet went through his chest, he actually returned to the playing field just 50 days later to make his NFL debut. So Pearsall was certainly blessed to be able to recover in just a couple months."
"I don't know how he grew up so, I can't judge him as a man just based off one action that he made, Pearsall told reporters. As violent as a crime as it was, god forbid him doing that to somebody else. I don't ever want that to happen so... just being able to forgive him at the end of the day like, I have to be able to forgive him to have that weight off my chest."
The teen who shot 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be tried as a juvenile rather than as an adult. Pearsall was shot in Union Square in August 2024 during a robbery attempt; a bullet passed through his chest. Pearsall recovered remarkably, returning to play just 50 days later for his NFL debut. The alleged shooter was 17 and attempted to rob Pearsall of merchandise he had bought. Pearsall says he has completely forgiven the teen, hopes to meet him someday, and wants to have a positive impact on the youth while relieving himself of that emotional burden.
