The San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver took a toss from Jimmy Garoppolo on San Francisco’s third play from scrimmage and carried it for a new Super Bowl record.
Longest run by a wide receiver
Samuel carried the ball 32 yards to the Chiefs 40 yard-line, marking the longest run by a wide receiver in Super Bowl history.
The play broke the record previously held by Seattle Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin, who reeled off a 30-yard run in Super Bowl XLVIII, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
