This offseason, the San Francisco 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. The team already knew it needed some young guys to step up in 2025, and that’s especially the case now with Jauan Jennings’ future uncertain after his recent demand for a new contract.
Fortunately, the Niners do have a couple of promising young wideouts who can help the team return to contender status.
Of course, 2024 first-round pick Ricky Pearsall is atop that list, but he wasn’t the young wideout named as a potential breakout star in a recent piece by The Athletic.
