Deebo Samuel Rushes For Touchdown In Win

Deebo Samuel Rushes For Touchdown In Win

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel contributed to his team's 30-23 Week 1 win against the Rams in Los Angeles through the air and on the ground. He finished the day with six receptions on nine targets for 63 yards to go with five carries for 38 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown. Samuel very nearly had a touchdown reception as well after he had gotten behind defenders on a deep shot, but quarterback Brock Purdy overthrew him. It was good to see Samuel have success in the rushing game after some speculation that head coach Kyle Shanahan might limit his carries coming off an injury-impacted 2022 season and only getting two carries last week at Pittsburgh. Up next is a Thursday night home matchup against the New York Giants, where Samuel will remain a solid WR2.
