Just about eleven minutes to go in the fourth quarter of the San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams game, Jimmy Garoppolo connected with the wide receiver Deebo Samuel for a 40-yard touchdown, which ultimately sealed them an enormous 31-10 victory.

However, it was not just the touchdown run that seemed to have caught the attention of the spectators. It was how he celebrated, turned the heads of the whole NFL community. The 25-year-old receiver was seen wearing a massive gold chain featuring the Niners’ helmet.

When Deebo was asked about the gold chain and where it came from, in the post-game press conference. The receiver told the reporters that it was the idea of his teammate cornerback Jason Verrett, who got the chain for the team. And it was his notion to wear the celebratory chain whenever a play is made.

“The necklace came from [Jason Verrett],” Deebo told reporters. “He kind of got it for the team. Whenever you make a play, you put it on. So that’s where it kind of came from. Just the fourth-down play, we called in-breaking route, and it just popped wide open as you can see, Jimmy made the right to read and it turned into a touchdown.”

The praise was, however, worth it as Deebo caught five passes for 97 yards throughout the game, and he now has 54 receptions, 979 receiving yards and five touchdown catches this season. He is arguably the best playmaker in the Niners roster, so he will be seen wearing the gold chain quite often.
