It was crazy timing for Lynch to call Samuel.
Deebo Samuel had quite the scare on Tuesday ahead of the NFL trade deadline, but he can laugh about it now.
Hours before the deadline, the San Francisco 49ers receiver was filming a "My Cause, My Cleats" commercial at Levi's Stadium. All of a sudden, 49ers general manager John Lynch started to call him.. "I answer the phone, he's like 'Yeah, man, my daughter's going to be the one running the NFL commercial that you're doing today.' I'm like 'Don't be calling me.' ... I don't think he was actually thinking about the time he was calling me.
Samuel said he didn't get too spooked as he wasn't expected to be traded. But, still, it was crazy timing for Lynch to be calling him.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
