49ers WR Ricky Pearsall Was Shot During An Attempted Robbery

A very scary moment and story around the NFL today. 49ers first-round pick Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco. The robbery is allegedly due to a Rolex, but details are still emerging. Despite being shot in the chest, Pearsall walked into the ambulance on his own feet.

A scary situation seems to have avoided complete tragedy. Reports are that Ricky is in stable condition at the hospital. We've heard a lot of crazy stories over the years, but this one is a bit insane. In broad daylight, a robber wanted to steal a Rolex off an NFL player and shoots the player too? The world has no place for acts of violence like this. The San Francisco 49ers also put out a statement regarding the shooting. Our thoughts are with Ricky and his family and we hope he recovers fully as soon as possible.
