Fans are praising San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall for his atтιтude toward the person who sH๏τ him over the summer.
Before starting his first season in the NFL, Pearsall was sH๏τ in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on August 31.
After making a recovery and wrapping up his rookie campaign, Pearsall admitted wanting to talk to the person who pulled the trigger on him.
‘I don’t know how he grew up, so I can’t judge him as a man just based off one action that he made,’ Pearsall said over the weekend. ‘As violent as a crime as it was, god forbid him doing that to somebody else.
‘I don’t ever want that to happen, so just being able to forgive him at the end of the day, like, I have to be able to forgive him to have that weight off my chest,’ he continued.
‘At some point, I do want to talk to the kid and make sure that, if I can create an impact on him in any way, I think that would be really big. I’d be definitely open to doing that.’
