Deebo Samuel-WR-South Carolina

I need a Deboo Jersey!

This guy is just electric.
I think he could be the superstar WR we have searched since TO.

He's way faster than he looks. He gets the ball and has an extra gear. I feel like it catches many defenders off guard. Obviously there are guys who are faster, but he's fantastic overall.

His truckability is due to him being able to get low while still keeping speed.

A less compact receiver couldn't do it that way. He approaches contact with great positioning.

He's a real gem, and SMART.

I'm sure someone mentioned it already. Great game but two plays he should've stayed in bounds towards the end

Chalk it up to being a rookie hopefully

Totally, that play could have meant more if we didn't have Kittle

I think Deebo & Sanders are the guys!

Pettis & Goodwin are probably out next year, which gives us Taylor, Bourn, and Hurd as back up's/Slots. I don't think finding a new WR is as important as resigning Sanders.

Well, Sanders should be back for 2020. But the Niners still need to find WR1/2 long term options to pair with Deebo.

True, but I think we have to get creative with the cap at some point.

It will be hard to keep everyone after this season...

Super impressed with his YAC ability and vision as a runner. I don't think he has that wiggle and high point ability that all the good number ones have, but I love him as a number 2.

In a way, he's our Robert Woods.

I recall him at least highpointing two deep balls from Jimmy this year

Kid is really gaining chemistry with Jimmy G more & more each week

Becoming very reliable. You can tell he's learning a lot from Sanders.

I was concerned that this guy might be too immature right now but he is proving me wrong.

I mean immature like not a student of the game, not overly dedicated to mastering his craft but more so focused on having a good time etc

From an age and cap standpoint, Sanders reminds me a bit of Pierre Garcon. Great that year and then the next year injured and never came back, and had to let him go and I think we had to take a cap hit on him. Between a Sanders and a Jalen Hurd and maybe a 5th round wr pick, I'd go with Jalen Hurd and a 5th round wr pick vs signing Sanders again (from a age/cap standpoint). Love his skillset, and I do hope he can come to an affordable deal with the 49ers but from an age and cap standpoint, I don't think we'll be able to afford him.

Off topic - I think Deebo would be even more dynamic if dropped 10-15 llbs. I think he's carrying a little too much weight.
