The San Francisco 49ers confirmed Monday they have signed All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel to a three-year contract extension, ending any chance that we would be traded before the upcoming season.
He finished the season with 1,770 yards from scrimmage and 14 TDs. Hall of Famer Jerry Rice is the only Niners receiver ever to gain more yards from scrimmage in a season than Samuel did last year.
"My favorite thing about Deebo is how much he inspires people," Shanahan said."And he inspires me more than almost any player I've watched on the field. The way he runs the ball whether you are handing it to him or throwing it to him or whether he is catching it on a kick. These aren't things you have to talk him into doing, it usually stuff he talks you into doing. Deebo loves playing football.
"It was awesome to have that option to do that," Shanahan said."You can't do that with anybody. You have to do that with a special player and Deebo is a special player. That's why he's earned this contract that he's got, and I think that's why he'll continue to do that going forward."
