The San Francisco 49ers should not trade Deebo Samuel.
Samuel emerged as the engine behind Kyle Shanahan’s offense in 2021. His ability as a receiver, runner and all-around playmaker drove a Jimmy Garoppolo-led San Francisco team to the NFL’s final four. His penchant for sending defenders spiraling out of control allowed him to lead the league in yards per catch, despite playing alongside a quarterback whose average pass went only 7.5 yards downfield — 22nd-best in the NFL.
