What Faithful wants first-round pick Pearsall to know about 49ers culture originally appeared in NBC Sports Bay Area
Ricky Pearsall is wasting no time adapting to the 49ers culture.
Two days after being selected 31st overall by San Francisco on Thursday in the 2024 NFL Draftthe former Florida wide receiver quickly asked 49ers fans to teach him everything he should know about the team and the culture, both organizationally and culturally.
Here it is what Pearsall posted on Xformerly known as Twitter:
To all my Niners,
My goal is to represent. What are some things I should know? Traditions? History? Culture? Language?

And of course, Faithful didn’t disappoint, offering tons of hilarious and serious tips.
It’s a team tradition to sweep the Rams, Seahawks and Cards in the regular season, eliminate the Cowboys from the playoffs and be directly responsible for firing at least three opposing coaches by January.

The dances, family. We need you to have the smeeze, the thizz face, the thizzle dance DOWN

Never call it San Francisco. This is frowned upon

One of the biggest things is that the fans are called 49er Faithful.

Our receptors jam like their lives depend on it. You must immediately adopt an intense, almost irrational hatred for all things Cowboys, and ultimately, it won’t be a successful season unless you are creating a Lombardi.
I believe this is enough.

It’s SF.
We are the faithful

Just know that whenever you see the Packers in the playoffs, you will win

We say “Hella” a lot. Bay Area hip hop -E40, Too Short, P Lo, Saweetie. Make friends with Steph Curry. The standard here is championships. No points for second place.

In short, Pearsall will fit in well if he takes San Francisco’s nicknames into account and accepts beating the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers and the entire NFC West.
