NFL.com Scouting Report / Overview
Dependable slot target with good size and soft hands who will need to prove that he has the ability to free himself against NFL man coverage. Pearsall might get the stereotypical “crafty route runner” label, but it suits him. He appears to play with an idea of how to manipulate certain coverage looks and leverages. He also plays with attention to detail and a consistent route tempo to create windows, but lacks ideal foot quickness to beat press and maintain separation. While the hands are reliable, he’s not physical enough to tilt contested catches in his favor and might have a ceiling of quality backup with punt-return value.
Strengths
- Sinks hips low to snap off drive routes suddenly.
- Keeps route tempo primed through his turns.
- Throws subtle jab steps to leverage corners off the break point.
- Catches with quiet, soft hands to stab drive throws.
- Adjusts his track and lays out to make the catch.
- Displayed ability to throw on gadget plays while at Arizona State.
Weaknesses
- Doesn’t have the suddenness to slip past committed press looks.
- High number of catches came running uncovered against zone.
- Modest catch radius to save off-frame throws.
- Overtaken by aggressive cornerbacks on contested-catch tries.
