In only his third NFL campaign, Samuel has left all his doubters and their many concerns over his injury record in the dust. He did come back in the 2021 preseason, a different man with a physique very few WRs can match. The 49ers’ wideout is second only to teammate Elijah Mitchell in rushing yards (365). He leads the team with 14 total touchdowns and also has 77 catches for 121 targets.
During his standout performance against the Los Angeles Rams, he became only the second player to have a passing and receiving TD as a WR in the same game. Former Patriot David Patten was the last wideout player to achieve that feat. Shanahan also points out how Samuel’s physicality is different from all others in the NFL.

A player whose progress was slightly hampered by injuries, Deebo is more than ready to peek-a-boo teams in the postseason.
