Samuel and Kupp couldn’t be more different in how they operate, but they have the end zone in common.
Deebo Samuel has a singular brutish style which makes poring over film of other wideouts irrelevant.
Kupp and Samuel will take turns in a fascinating contrast of styles as different as the Rams and 49ers. It’s evasive action vs. search and destroy. Ali against Frazier. Subtlety and nuance takes on a bull in search of a china shop.Kupp, 28, became just the fourth winner of the receiving triple crown in the Super Bowl era, leading the NFL in receptions , yards and touchdowns .
Mike McDaniel, the 49ers offensive coordinator, said the coaching staff was in “uncharted territory” with regard to Samuel’s dual usage and noted “this is a different player. He’s not a receiver. He’s a football player at the receiver position who can also play running back and we treat him as such. And he would have it no other way.”
“I couldn’t do it. I told Matt , give me a dive at the 1-yard line and I can go over the top, but some of those dudes are a little stocky in the middle,” Green Bay wide receiver Davante Adams said last week. “I think Deebo is built body-wise for that.”
