49ers WR Ricky Pearsall finds positives nearly 10 months after shooting incident
“I think about it 24/7. You know what I mean? There’s not a single day that goes by where I don’t think about it, just because it is something that’s very global. A lot of people know about it, so a lot of people want to know about it. They’re interested about it, so they ask me….That story is never going to go away, and I’m constantly thinking about it, just from the damage that maybe it took on me,” Pearsall said. “I just think about it and think about maybe some regrets that I have. But I always get into the mindset, like, why do I regret any situation that played out the way it was supposed to play out? God had a plan for me, so there are a lot of positives that can still come out of the darkness that I faced…..“I don’t know what word can describe my rookie year because it was definitely a unique one,” Pearsall said. “But I wouldn’t want it any other way, man. I’m extremely blessed with the position that I’m in here, and I’m super happy that I have the people around me that I do. There’s a great support system here in the Niners, and I’ve made a lot of good relationships and learned a lot of new things about myself.
“And I feel like when you go through some adversity like that, you really get to find out about yourself, and I think that’s something that I definitely did. I got to find out a little bit more about myself. I thought I knew everything about myself because I lived with myself for 24 years. But going through something like that, a tragic event, you get to really learn deep down in those dark times who you are as a person, where your motives are, your purpose, and I think I found that.”
