The San Fransisco 49ers‘ Deebo Samuel revealed Rick Pearsall is going to be okay after the rookie wider receiver was shot twice in the chest following a failed armed robbery attempt in the Californian city.

Many details remain unclear but thankfully the footballer will be okay, as will be the suspect meaning he can face the full force of the United States’ justice system after incident in San Francisco’s Union Square.

“He’s good. Thank god!!!!,” Samuel posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, in some welcome news for football fans and the 49ers organization following a very tense 12 hours during which his ability to pull through the shooting wasn’t guaranteed.

Some 2.1 million viewed the post, with 28,000 likes and 3500 reposts as fans poured in their joy at his safety and their commiserations and sympathies for Pearsall.

One user wrote, “Hell yeah. Thanks deebo for the update. Great news.”

A second added, “Super glad to hear Ricky is okay. This was scary.”

A third commented, “Thanks Deebo. Sending prayers.”

And a fourth concluded, “So glad to hear, thanks Dee.”

Who is Ricky Pearsall?

Pearsall had been picked 31st overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and was set to have a big role in the 49ers’ offense considering the uncertainty around Brandon Aiyuk‘s future with the team, but now that could all change after the shooting.

He played college football for the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Florida Gators where he caught 10 touchdowns from 1547 yards and rushed for 191 yards and five touchdowns, possessing a dual threat role.

Social Media Is Pissed Off After Skip Bayless Claims LeBron James Shouldn’t Have Won MVP Over Stephen Curry

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.

After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.

“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.

Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
