Amidst the 49ers’ slow 1-2 start to the season, 2021 First-Team All-Pro Deebo Samuel was still chugging. Now, granted, Samuel wasn’t playing at his usual high-level/versatile self. That’s probably no longer a concern for San Francisco.
With the 49ers looking to pad a late first-half 7-3 lead in their Monday night matchup with the Rams (-1.5), Jimmy Garoppolo — who’s returned as the starter with more questions than answers — decided to give Samuel a chance on a 50-50 ball. After the ensuing incredible result, it’s obvious the quarterback made an incredible decision to simply give the electric Samuel an opportunity to make a big play.
