Ricky Pearsall's rookie season was thrown way off course this past summer when, while visiting the Bay Area's Union Square, he was shot in the chest by a 17-year-old trying to rob him.
The San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver spent the night in the hospital—but after some tests and X-rays, was released. He made a full recovery and even returned to the lineup in 2024 after missing the first six weeks of the season.
