WATCH: Former Florida WR shines at 2024 Senior Bowl practices
Everyone in Gainesville knows how good of a receiver Ricky Pearsall is, but Florida’s leading receiver in 2023 flew a bit under the radar nationally.
Well… the cat (Gator?) is out of the bag.
Pearsall has quickly made a name for himself over two days of practice at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He’s one of many names that fans are growing increasingly excited about, considering the receiver depth in the draft class.
Some have labeled Pearsall the steal of the third or fourth round, but he could end up going earlier than that if this keeps up. One thing is for sure, though. Anyone who didn’t know about Pearsall at the end of the regular season knows his name now.
Here are some highlights from the first two days of Senior Bowl practices.
Day 1 dominance

Taking over Day 2
Florida WR Ricky Pearsall is taking over Senior Bowl day 2. Made some great plays in 1v1s now taking over the 11 on 11 series. He’s a lock for early day 2 at this rate. You see multiple coaches trying to talk to him constantly. #Florida #SeniorBowl #Gators pic.twitter.com/rduVECrwxs

Who wants Ricky?
There is a lot to like about @GatorsFB WR Ricky Pearsall (@S1ickSzn), but what is the ONE thing he wants to make sure people know about him after @seniorbowl week?
"That I'm winning most of my 1-on-1 reps, if not all of them."

The Bills have made a habit of drafting Gators lately....
I asked Florida WR Ricky Pearsall to describe #Bills QB Josh Allen in one word.
“Generational. Do they say he’s a dual threat quarterback? Because they gotta be…”
Pearsall has impressed thus far in Mobile. #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/crRamKzga0
