Trent Williams ended his holdout and returned to the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday with a new contract and Ricky Pearsall seems to be a big reason he returned to the team.
Pearsall was shot in the chest over the weekend during an attempted robbery. While the rookie wide receiver survived the incident and seems to be doing well, it made an impact on Williams. When meeting with the media after agreeing to his new deal, the 11-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle explained that the Pearsall incident made him want to return to be with his teammates.
