Deebo Samuel was involved in some offseason drama this year. Making things more complicated was the fact that the San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver was unwilling to speak publicly about his trade request, leaving the media to speculate about the reasoning.
Things worked out in the end, with the 49ers and Samuel agreeing to a three-year extension, making him among the highest-paid receivers in the league and keeping him with the team through the 2025 season.
Overtime SZN, the football channel for Overtime, released their offseason feature on Samuel. It doesn't reveal anything about the offseason drama we didn't already know. However, it offers fans a look into the dynamic player's offseason routine and an inside look at Samuel's personal life, even as the drama unfolded.
It also features a nice look at Samuel's journey as a new father.
