VIDEO: 49ers Rookie Offensive Weapon Deebo Samuel Nearly Scores on Electric End-Around
By Mark Powell
Deebo Samuel is a trick play waiting to happen, and Mike Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers have to be excited about the prospect of employing the South Carolina speedster in his offense. On Monday night against the Broncos, Samuel took an end-around and nearly scored from over 40 yards out.
Samuel is a wideout with the positional outlook of a running back, and can make nearly any defender miss in the open field. Thus far, the USC product has impressed enough in training camp to get some rave reviews from Shanahan and Co. That seems to be carrying over to the field in preseason action as well.
