    Ricky is a great receiver, and I hope he gets drafted into a good situation. It’s sad that he didn’t get to experience a winning program while he was here.

    Really nice piece in an obviously crappy talent team. Mertz liked him, until he got stuck on Tre. Glad he did not get hurt this year. I think he can be a 4th receiver/punt returner in the NFL. Probably going to be a practice player for a couple of years first. Good luck and thanks for the memories.

    I think he can and will be much more than a 4th receiver and punt returner. The guy has elite catching ability, route running, shiftiness and excellent speed. All he needs is a coach who believes in him and a decent QB.

    At the major college level. He was a very nice receiver. The DBs in the NFL are way better than he competed against.

    I'm not getting the logic of your statement. The same is true for any college receiver who turns pro. They will all face better DBs at the next level.

    At a university that has seen so many stud receivers, he made the greatest catch of them all.

    Class act, great teammate, great Gator. I hope he lands on an NFL team where he has the opportunity to thrive and win. Thank you, Ricky Pearsall, and best wishes!

    Ricky Pearsall is the best receiver since Kyle Pitts - He'll be a solid pro. Dude constantly beat coverage and caught everything thrown at him

    Thanks Ricky for the time with the Gator Nation.
    The pros have seen you shine here and they will be calling. Good luck and health as you step into the highest level of football.
