How 49ers’ WR trio of Aiyuk, Samuel and Pearsall could alter offense in 2024 (paywall)

“Last season, the 49ers had the second-fewest snaps (410) in the NFL with at least three wide receivers, according to the Associated Press. And they have run the fewest snaps with three or more wide receivers during Shanahan’s seven seasons as head coach. If Shanahan does pivot, it could mean less playing time for Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who played 44% of the snaps in 2023.”

How Pearsall envisions thriving in Shanahan’s 49ers offense

“Just my route-running understanding,” Pearsall said. “I really understand where to be at, I’m very consistent and disciplined and the spots that I’m at. The quarterback will never be guessing where I’m at. It’s going to be a consistent spot. And then just my fluidity in the route-running.

“Especially in defenses now, there’s a lot of disguise coverages and moving pieces, so being able to run routes with your eyes up and seeing moving pieces and understanding on the go why everything is happening so fast, I think I do a good job of that. And then just how detailed I am with my route-running and the quality of it and how serious to take this on and off the field really.”
