Pearsall looked like a real starting receiver when he was on the field last year. He averaged 14.7 yards per catch, created separation with smooth changes of direction and finished with 528 yards in nine starts. The frustrating parts are obvious: he missed eight games, scored no touchdowns and now sits on injured reserve again. I still like him as a seven because the route talent and downfield juice are real, but availability has to become part of the grade.
Strengths: He is fluid through breaks, tracks throws naturally and can win from the slot or outside. Pearsall's 14.7-yard average shows his ability to create intermediate and vertical gains, while his hands and body control expand the catch window.
Weaknesses: Two seasons have been interrupted, and another injured-reserve placement makes durability the central concern. He has only three touchdowns in 20 games and still needs to become stronger against physical coverage and more consistent in crowded areas.
