SANTA CLARA – Marcus Lattimore, drawing from his own experience as a 49ers draftee, knows exactly what advice to give Deebo Samuel as he leaves their South Carolina roost.
“Better start looking for an apartment now,” Lattimore said in a phone interview Wednesday night. “He’s so excited, until he sees those prices. He’s tight with his money.”
Samuel, the 49ers’ second-round draft pick, flew nearly eight hours Thursday (Greensville, S.C. to Atlanta to San Jose) for rookie minicamp that runs through Saturday.
Lattimore’s been there, done that. Well, he did as much as he could.
