Ricky Pearsall, family meet policewoman who saved his life after shooting
Ricky Pearsall has had a unique beginning to his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers to say the least.
The former Florida Gator was notably shot in the chest during an attempted armed robbery right before the start of the regular season. The bullet went clean through his body, but he was able to be released from the hospital without needing surgery and returned to the field when the 49ers hosted the Chiefs last Sunday.
A San Francisco Police officer named Joelle Harrell attended to Pearsall’s wounds, one in the head and one in the chest, and helped get him to safety after he was shot.
ESPN did a segment on Pearsall and his family being able to meet the officer at the 49ers’ home-opener:

Pearsall was selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft following a prolific career with the Gators. He is now expected to play a sizable role for the San Francisco receiver room, as Jauan Jennings is currently battling injuries and Deebo Samuel has been in and out of the lineup throughout the season.
Wonder why no info about the perp ever got released? Keep voting Kamala like the NFL says to
It literally was released genius, it was a minor as reported by everyone. But keep being divisive and ignorant. I’ll never understand why people like you praise politicians like they don’t work for you
You really believe most politicians think that they work for their constituents? Assuming you’re from Louisiana, the state who gave us Huey Long and other Peapatch Politics, I would think you would know better.
How awesome to be able to give thanks to the person who saved your child’s life!
