Chad Johnson sees another lesson in Ricky Pearsall shooting: ‘Nothin’ is worth your life’
NFL legends Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson weighed in on the shooting of Ricky Pearsall, saying during their “Nightcap” show that “Nothin’ is worth your life.”
Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery as he tried to fight off the would-be robber, who had been trying to snatch his Rolex.
The two NFL legends hosted the show hours after the incident.
“OK, he good. There’s another lesson in this. Nothin’ is worth your life,” Johnson reacted after Sharpe had informed him that Pearsall was in stable condition.
“You can buy another Rolex. If someone’s tryna take your car, you can buy another car.”
As the conversation continued, Sharpe pushed back on what Johnson had said asking if, “If somebody comes up to and they ain’t go no gun, no knife and they say ‘Ocho give it up.’ You takin’ it off that freely?”
He responded: “Yes! If somebody comes up to you and says ”Let me get whatever it is off of you,” you already know they’re holding.”
The 49ers rookie was shot in San Francisco’s Union Square around 3:37 p.m. when a 17-year-old attempted to rob Pearsall with a gun over his luxury watch.
A struggle for the gun ensued and the weapon went off multiple times, which included the shot that struck Pearsall in the chest.
“First and far most (sic), I want to thank God for protecting my baby boy,” Erin Pearsall, the player’s mom, wrote in a Facebook post, according to The Athletic. “He is extremely lucky, God shielded him. He was shot in the chest and it exited out his back. Thanks be to God it missed his vital organs.”
The Arizona State University and University of Florida wide receiver was selected 31st overall by the Niners in this year’s draft.
A shoulder injury kept Pearsall out of all of the 49ers’ preseason games this summer.
