Deebo Samuel Death Threats

Deebo Samuel has recently removed all references to the 49ers from his Instagram page, an action that apparently led to the 26-year-old star receiving death threats and racial comments.

“For all y’all fans that are in the DMs [sending] death threats and racial stuff, it doesn’t bother me,” he posted in an Instagram story. “It doesn’t. Ya’ll the same ones that were hoorah and ‘go Debo.’ Oh, now y’all wanna send death threats and send all these racial [things].

“It doesn’t bother me. I’m cool I’m chillin’. I’m happy.”

Last season, Samuel showed off his unparalleled versatility with 77 catches for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season while also rushing for 365 yards and eight touchdowns.

His eight rushing scores were the most by a wide receiver in the Super Bowl era, doubling the previous record of four by Tavon Austin in 2015.

Samuel is entering the fourth and final year of his rookie deal with the 49ers.

Keeping the 6-foot, 215 wunderkinder would be critical for San Francisco but it will likely cost them given the hot market for wide receivers.

In recent weeks, Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams inked deals worth at least $28 million per year. Samuel, by comparison, put up more total yards than both.

As for his future, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is certainly eager to have Samuel return.
