Pearsall can be our Tyler Lockett but we will still need a real #1.
If we have to rely on Pearsall to be our #1 we will be in trouble.
Neither you or I, or anyone knows his ceiling, so why choose to assume he won't be able to beat top cbs?
He has a great chance to break out. Has world class agility and ability to get open. Not saying he's going to be a legit #1, but it's not crazy to recognize the potential that he could be.
