Deebo Samuel Off to Historic Start; Named NFC…

Deebo Samuel is off to a historic start in his third season with the San Francisco 49ers and his efforts aren’t going unnoticed. Following his Week 8 outing against the Chicago Bears, Samuel earned his first-ever NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor.

Samuel is coming off of a team-leading 171-yard outing, where he caught six of his targets, including a career-long 83-yard reception.

Sunday marked Samuel’s fourth game with 100-or-more yards this season and the eighth of his career. He became the first member of the 49ers with at least 100 receiving yards in consecutive games since he accomplished the feat in Weeks 10 and 11 of the 2019 season.
