Deebo Samuel isn't having a Deebo Samuel season. This past Sunday, they scored 38 points even though he caught just two passes, which led Samuel to post on X that he's not getting the ball enough. So Purdy was asked about his relationship with Samuel.
He used to be a go-to guy in the 49ers offense. Now, he's just one of the guys. Both Jauan Jennings and George Kittle have surpassed him in the pecking order of receivers. He's a third option at best. And the more the 49ers try to get him the ball, the worse their offense performs.
This past Sunday, they scored 38 points even though he caught just two passes, which led Samuel to post on X that he's not getting the ball enough.“Deebo and I talk all the time and he's like one of my best friends on this team," Purdy said. "I absolutely love Deebo and what he's done for me and helping me out. We talk all the time. Yeah, I think he's right. He's doing great right now with what we ask of him in the offense. And he is not struggling or anything.
Purdy was being diplomatic. I expect he'll get the ball to Samuel early this Thursday night to make him feel involved. But I doubt he'll catch more passes than Kittle or Jennings. Those two are just better than him.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
