Second-year 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall sits down with NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco to reflect on his tumultuous rookie season in the NFL, a season that saw him traumatically shot in an attempted robbery before he worked his way into San Francisco's offense with some explosive performances. Pearsall opens up with Matt about how that moment has changed his life and how thankful he is to still be playing today. Also, Matt and Jennifer discuss Pearsall's harrowing rookie season experience and what to expect from him in his sophomore season.
