SANTA CLARA — The chemistry of the 49ers' wide receivers group is unique in many ways.
At some point during every 49ers practice and before every game, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne hold a dance-off. Emmanuel Sanders has not only mentioned that their energy keeps him young but that he has learned from his young teammates.
The younger receivers have learned from Sanders’ leadership and experience. The veteran, in turn, has taken to heart their ability to run through the ball and gain yards after the catch.
While Samuel was flattered by the compliments from his veteran teammate, he was not surprised.
