Across 12 matches Pearson has shown consistent involvement as a ball-carrier, averaging over 34 metres per game and peaking at 97 metres in a single outing — numbers that point to an ability to make ground rather than simply receive and recycle. His best games show a capacity to take the ball into contact repeatedly, with 15 carries in one match underlining how central he can be to his side's attacking structure. Defensively he contributes without dominating the tackle count, which is consistent with a deep-lying role focused primarily on offensive output.
