Remember when star Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald seemingly pretended not to know who second-year San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Deebo Samuel was after a Week 6 loss at Levi's Stadium?
Yeah, Deebo remembers that too.
Here is what Samuel posted via Instagram after the first meeting between the two teams.
Samuel has 17 receptions for 199 yards and a touchdown through two games this season against the NFC West rival. More importantly, he is now 4-0 against the Rams over his career.
Samuel shared the following not-so-subtle message directed at Donald after San Francisco's latest victory — a thrilling 23-20 win at SoFi Stadium.
Sunday's game was Samuel's first back since suffering a hamstring strain on October 25 against the New England Patriots. Perhaps coincidentally, it was also the 49ers' first victory since that game.

The 2020 NFL season probably didn't go as running back Raheem Mostert had hoped. Injuries reduced his participation to just eight games. Mostert finished the season with 521 rushing yards on 104 carries with two rushing touchdowns and a receiving score.
According to Next Gen Stats, Mostert did finish the season recording the two fastest ball-carrier speeds. He hit 23.09 MPH during Week 2 against the New York Jets, a game he left with an MCL sprain, and forcing the running back to miss the next two matchups.
Mostert was tracked reaching 22.73 MPH during a Week 1 touchdown reception against the Arizona
Deebo Samuel doesn't like anyone suggesting Nick Bosa be part of a potential Watson-to-49ers trade

It's the offseason. So why not speculate on what it might take for the San Francisco 49ers to land disgruntled Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson? One suggestion by former NFL player Ross Tucker, during an interview on 95.7 The Game, was a little too wild for a 49ers wide receiver's liking.
Tucker mentioned the 49ers' young pass-rushing star after being asked if anyone is untouchable in creating a tempting enough package to acquire Watson.
"I would say Nick Bosa, but if you can get Deshaun Watson, I think even Bosa is touchable," Tucker said. "I'm sure they don't want to do it, and I'm sure they'd even rather give up picks, but as great as Nick is, if you get a chance to get a top-five quarterback in the NFL, you have to do it.
