Deebo Samuel Debuting Close To Home
5 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is set for his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-round rookie showed electric flashes during preseason, making a handful of aerobic grabs and taking a couple carries for 59 yards. The South Carolina native will enjoy a favorable opening matchup in Tampa against one of the worst defenses last season. While his role is unclear, Samuel has the upside to eventually usurp Marquise Goodwin as the de facto starter and should play plenty on Sunday. Due to the volume uncertainty, Samuel is just a volatile WR4 in Week 1, but don’t be surprised if he makes a big early impression.
