Deebo Samuel: The Next Great 49ers Receiver?
San Francisco has a long history of great wide receivers. Players such as R.C. Owens, Gene Washington, Freddie Solomon, Dwight Clark, John Taylor, Terrell Owens, and who needs to be reminded of Jerry Rice.
Deebo Samuel can be the next great 49ers wide receiver.
In 2019, Samuel finished with 57 receptions to set the 49ers rookie receiving record. While 802 receiving yards trail only Jerry Rice, Samuel’s 961 total yards bettered the mark of the San Francisco legend.
After struggling with injuries throughout his sophomore season, Samuel provided the heartbeat for San Francisco’s offense in 2021.
