Ricky Pearsall explains why he was surprised that the San Francisco 49ers drafted him in Round 1.
Pearsall wasn't projected to get taken that high in the NFL -- he was supposed to get drafted in Round 2 or 3. And he had no idea the 49ers even liked him.
“I think the only time I actually met with them was during the Senior Bowl when you’re kind of doing like the little speed dating meetings. So that’s really the only time I really got to talk to them. But as far as that, I didn’t really have too much conversation and contact with them. My agent was trying to contact them leading up, obviously, to the Draft Day. But as far as serious interest, I don’t think that I was aware of this, no.
It's possible the 49ers were being coy so other teams wouldn't know they liked Pearsall. But that's a farfetched theory, considering no other team in the NFL would have drafted him in Round 1. The 49ers could have sent out a press release before the draft alerting everyone of their intention to take Pearsall in Round 1 and they still would have gotten him.
