A contingent of San Francisco 49ers players is in Nashville, Tennessee this week for player-organized workouts. Fourth-year wide receiver Kendrick Bourne shared several videos via Instagram of the group of participating receivers, which include himself,
Deebo Samuel, Dante Pettis, and others.
Several 49ers players, including Bourne and Pettis, had been participating in similar throwing sessions with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo locally at San Jose State. The group headed to Nashville to allow other players like tight end
George Kittle, wide receiver Trent Taylor, and quarterback C.J. Beathard, who spend their offseasons in the area, to participate.
Samuel had been training with teammates Jerick McKinnon and
Trent Williams in Houston, Texas, but journeyed to Tennessee to join in this week's workouts.
Players across the league continue to organize their own workouts since COVID-19 precautions have prevented coaches from holding on-field practices at team facilities or even meeting face-to-face with their players.

Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
