49ers' Brock Purdy: 'I Absolutely Love' Deebo Samuel amid Post About Not Getting Ball

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is firmly in Deebo Samuel's corner even after the wide receiver took to social media to say he needs the ball more.

"Deebo and I talk all the time and he's like one of my best friends on this team," Purdy told reporters Tuesday. "I absolutely love Deebo and what he's done for me and helping me out. We talk all the time and yeah, I think he's right. He's doing great right now with what we ask of him in the offense. And he's not struggling or anything. It's just like I said before about guys like Ricky or last year with Aiyuk for a little bit.
