Deebo Samuel’s versatility is what makes him one of the most explosive playmakers in the NFL. On Sunday, it earned him a pretty sweet payday.
Samuel put the 49ers on top early during their Week 14 matchup against the Buccaneers, receiving a pitch from quarterback Brock Purdy and taking it in for a 13-yard touchdown. It was his third rushing score of the season, which activated a $150,000 bonus in his contract.
Samuel’s contract guarantees him a $150,000 bonus for reaching three rushing touchdowns, and he could reach $650,000 if he tops 380 rushing yards for the year.
