The Green Bay Packers are busy preparing for their divisional round opponent in the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night. There are a lot of talented players the Packers coaching staff will be preparing for, but wide receiver Deebo Samuel is one they’ll be paying extra attention to.
A second-round pick in 2019, Samuel has quickly developed into one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL. Samuel finished the season leading all NFL wide receivers with 18.2 yards per reception, hauling in 77 receptions for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns.
With the 49ers desperately thin at running back earlier this season, Samuel started to be utilized out of the backfield as well.
