The San Francisco 49ers selected South Carolina wideout Tayshun “Deebo” Samuel with the 36th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Samuel’s personality and physical brand of football earned him the nickname inspired by the bully from the movie “Friday.” Now Deebo heads to the bay where coach Kyle Shanahan will be looking to take full advantage of Samuel’s imposing skillset.
ESPN’s Matt Bowen created a list of 15 rookies from the 2019 NFL draft who landed with the perfect teams. Samuel and the 49ers made the cut.
In the 49ers’ offense, coach Kyle Shanahan can dial up catch-and-run opportunities for Samuel.
