Deebo Samuel is one of many NFL receivers who now work with private coaches to improve their route-running skills. It's not just a QB thing anymore.
By all accounts, a slimmed-down Deebo Samuel has been one of the best players in training camp for the San Francisco 49ers. As he works to get back to the electric playmaking ability he regularly flashed during his first few seasons in the league, Samuel told reporters he's the lightest he's been since college. He's even switched back to the No. 1 he wore at South Carolina. 'In my mind, I'm doing everything possible to be in the best shape ,' Samuel said.
And last, the way to attack defenders. 'We've really just tried to put out a display, an arsenal of receiver packages to different athletes, and it just continues to grow.' Former NFL receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh trains a group of receivers in the Los Angeles area that includes Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Michael Wilson, Michael Pittman Jr., Drake London, Rome Odunze, Brian Thomas Jr. and Aiyuk.
