STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Pearsall's zero broken tackles and 85% first-contact rate is a significant after-catch liability.

Pearsall broke zero tackles in his rookie season according to PFF and went down on first contact on 85% of charted plays, placing him in a rare group of receivers (Marvin Harrison Jr., Aidy Mitchell, Josh Palmer, DJ Chark, Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Van Jefferson, Henry Ruggs) with zero broken tackles in a season. This is a glaring weakness despite his elite route-running ability.
