Ricky Pearsall's 2025 performance was severely hampered by poor supporting receiver play; his 'catch rate over expected' numbers were so low they seemed incorrectly entered. When relying on Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne against an elite secondary, the 49ers' offensive struggles were remarkable. However, the addition of Mike Evans changes Pearsall's outlook: he is no longer the focal point and will face the opposing team's CB2 instead of CB1. When Pearsall faced lesser corners in 2025, he 'made mincemeat of' them, suggesting significant upside when matched against weaker coverage.

Ricky Pearsall's numbers seem like they were entered in incorrectly; they were so low. When you're relying on Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne against an elite secondary, it's a miracle that the Niners were in this situation to begin with. Mike Evans changes everything. He gives the 49ers a weapon on every down, and a go-to target on third down. It also means Pearsall is no longer the focal point and gets the other team's CB2. When that was the case last season, Pearsall made mincemeat of lesser corners.
