49ers' Deebo Samuel Responds to Video of Him Refusing to Sign Ball for Kid at Camp

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel addressed a video that shows him walking past a young autograph seeker during his youth football camp in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on Thursday.

Samuel responded to a tweet from FlexWork Sports Management, which ran the camp. He stated that all campers went home with a signed photo but that he could not sign personal items.

Hosting a camp in my hometown this past week was a real blessing and the support was truly special. Thank you to the campers, parents, coaches, support staff, Spartanburg HS and the city of Spartanburg.
