Deebo Samuel nears 6,000 career scrimmage yards for the 49ers

Deebo Samuel enters the San Francisco 49ers' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams requiring 65 scrimmage yards to reach 6,000 for his career. This milestone would make him the 12th player in franchise history to reach that mark and only the fourth wide receiver to do so. He joins an exclusive list that includes Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Dwight Clark, and Gene Washington. The upcoming game in Melbourne serves as the first regular-season contest held in Australia. While Samuel shares the offensive workload with teammates including George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Mike Evans, he remains on track to hit the 6,000-yard threshold during the current season. The 49ers face their NFC West rivals looking to start their campaign with a victory in the historic international setting.
