DK was asked about the skills he possesses and how he compares to Deebo in those areas. DK responded, “I don’t like talking about other players in a negative way… I’ma just say I’m very fast. I’m faster than him.”

Most likely, that is correct, DK is faster than Deebo. At the 2019 NFC Scouting Combine, DK posted a 4.33-second 40-yard, while the “wide back” registered a 4.48-second time.

DK Metcalf recognizes Deebo’s abilities

The Niners use Deebo Samuel in a wide receiver and a running back hybrid role. As a result, Samuel has labeled himself a “wide back.” This is not a role that DK would prefer. Therefore, DK acknowledged that it is something that he cannot do and where Samuel is better than him.

In the same interview, he added, “Deebo is a very versatile player.” Additionally, DK stated that Deebo can line up in the backfield, play wideout, go in the slot, and return punts and kicks.
