San Francisco police say Pearsall was shot around 3:37 p.m. local time by a man who was trying to rob him. An altercation between the two followed, and the shooter was also injured.

The shooter is in custody, police said.

Pearsall is in stable condition at a local hospital, according to multiple reports.

Pearsall was taken as the No. 31 overall selection by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 NFL Draft following his collegiate career at Arizona State and then Florida.
