San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel was coming out of a tremendous 2021 season. Coming second in the NFL while averaging an impressive 10.0 YAC, it was clear that he was a dangerous offensive weapon for the 49ers’ arsenal. But when news broke of the WR requesting a trade, fans linked him with a possible move to the Philadelphia Eagles. But fate had other plans for the WR and both the franchises. Samuel decided to stay with the 49ers amidst his trade speculations, and the Eagles went on to sign Tennessee Titans WR AJ Brown to the franchise in a four-year $100 million contract. 

Deebo Samuel, known for his physical prowess, was very well balanced by the Eagles as they brought in 6’1 tall AJ Brown to fill up that space. Then, recently, the Eagles crushed the 49ers 31-7 to move to the Super Bowl LVII finals. A new rivalry and bad blood started to form between both teams. Samuel recently talked about how the Eagles are now his most hated team, bringing in a response from the star WR of the Eagles.

Starting from his altercation with Jalen Ramsey on social media to labeling Eagles corner James Bradberry “trash” when he was inducted with Pro Bowl honors, Samuels has been a very vocal player. And the 27-year-old WR did exactly just that during this interview as well.
