Week 3 of the NFL season saw several former Florida Gators deliver big performances. Second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall continued to prove himself as a key piece in San Francisco’s offense, finding the end zone and providing another spark for the 49ers.

On the defensive side, Jonathan Greenard set the tone for Minnesota with a disruptive performance, showing once again why he’s one of the league’ top pass rushers. Special teams also featured a standout, as kicker Eddy Piñeiro delivered a game-winning field goal for the 49ers.
