It seems that Deebo Samuel, who requested a commerce from San Francisco in April, will probably be sticking with the 49ers for the upcoming NFL season, in keeping with basic supervisor John Lynch.

He caught 77 of 121 targets for 1,405 yards, which had been 212 greater than his earlier two campaigns mixed. His 18.2 yards per reception led the NFL 

The Niners additionally elevated his working load considerably, as Samuel racked up 365 dashing yards and eight dashing TDs, breaking the NFL file for a wideout. He turned the primary large receiver in league historical past to file 1,400-plus receiving yards and 300-plus dashing yards in the identical season.

Samuel first confirmed flashes as a dual-threat throughout his rookie season, when he rushed 14 occasions for 159 yards (10.6 dashing yards per recreation) and three touchdowns to associate with 57 receptions for 802 yards.
