Top draft pick Ricky Pearsall must first learn the 49ers’ offensive details before fulfilling on-field expectations.

SANTA CLARA – Ricky Pearsall won the 49ers’ draft-day hearts with all the attributes you’d expect from a first-round wide receiver.“Everybody wants it to happen overnight. But that’s not going to be the case,” said Leonard Hankerson, the 49ers’ wide receivers coach. “It’s going to take time to learn, to get a full understanding of how to get open vs.
“That is the start,” Hankerson said, “because what you see on film with him –playing fast, making plays, catching over the middle and in traffic, playing with swag — that happens once you figure out the offense and the details in which we coach every route, where to be at, the timing, the landmarks, the depth of everything.
“He’s definitely got versatility and has the mental acumen to keep up with the coaches,” Florida coach Billy Napier said in a video conference call with Bay Area media a week after the draft. “He will thrive in a professional environment. There won’t be a huge learning curve.” Purdy praised Pearsall’s ability to quickly learn the playbook, not to mention his sure hands and on-field moves. Hankerson admires those qualities, too, but the first thing he looked for was Pearsall’s toughness in making over-the-middle catches in college.
Aiyuk got thrust into action more than expected as a rookie, a 2020 season that got waylaid by the 49ers’ rash of injuries, as well as the COVID pandemic. His 60 receptions were three more than Deebo Samuel’s as a 2018 rookie; the 49ers’ rookie record is 83 catches, by then-running back Earl Cooper in 1980.49ers QB Purdy has achieved true celebrity status but remains modest leader
