STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Kirk operates in short-to-intermediate range; different role than Pearsall's specialty.

Kirk is a short to intermediate range option who can work with the ball in his hands. He is part of the 49ers' receiving room composition but operates in a different role than Pearsall's outside route specialist function. With Pearsall sidelined, Kirk will be part of the group expected to contribute, though he does not replicate Pearsall's man-coverage beating ability.
