With the NFL changing its kickoff rules to encourage more returns, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel wants the chance to field some kicks.
"I wouldn't mind doing it from the get-go," Samuel said, per David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com (h/t Pro Football Talk's Charean Williams). "I'm a team-first player, so if [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] was like, 'Hey, man, we don't want you to do it full-time. We just use you whenever we really need it,' I'm fine with that. But if you want to use me full-time, I'm all for that as well."
