Trent Williams predicts Deebo Samuel's breakout season with 49ers

Deebo Samuel signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers at the end of July. Trent Williams, his teammate and future Hall of Famer, believes Samuel could have the best season of his career, calling this a critical time for Samuel to prove himself after a challenging free agency period. Samuel, who previously played six seasons for the 49ers, had 727 receiving yards and five touchdowns last season and joins the team following a trade from the Washington Commanders. The 49ers recently lost wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to season-ending surgery, which heightens the need for Samuel to step up as a top offensive weapon.
