Ricky Pearsall fires back at Florida fan over criticism of Graham Mertz
Ricky Pearsall had enough with a Florida fan criticizing the Gators quarterback, and fired back.
The fan took issue with Graham Mertz, and said he wasn’t worthy of wearing the No. 15 jersey that Gators legend Tim Tebow did.
Pearsall is the Gators’ leading receiver, and had 6 catches on Saturday against Georgia for 99 yards. The last 3 games, Pearsall has had 20 catches combined for 299 receiving yards.
Mertz against Georgia was 25-for-34 passing for 230 yards and 2 touchdowns.
“Dear a supposedly “Gator Fan”,
We don’t care what you think & we are rocking with our leader ONE FIVE, Graham Mertz.
Sincerely,
THE Gator football team.”
