“Really hate being part of this fan base” – NFL world reacts to Deebo Samuel receiving death threats after purging the 49ers from his Instagram
Deebo Samuel
This offseason has been one of the wildest ones in NFL history and more so for the wide receivers. This offseason saw WRs receiving quarterback-like money. The Green Bay Packers traded their star receiver Davanate Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs also had to lose Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
Both the trades had to do with money and other star receivers are looking to follow in Adams’ and Hill’s footsteps. A few weeks back Deebo Samuel removed his 49ers profile pics and cleaned out all the posts related to the team on his Instagram handle. Following this act, people aren’t sure whether Samuel stays in San Franciso or not.
Deebo Samuel says he isn’t fazed by all the threats he’s been receiving
The 26-year-old star receiver claimed on social media that he has been receiving death threats and racial ‘stuff’ due to his contract negotiations. “All y’all fans is in the DMs sending death threats and racial stuff. Like, that don’t bother me bro. It don’t,” Deebo said in a video.
Deebo Samuel is coming off his best year yet. He caught 77 passes for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns and was also used as a running back in Kyle Shanahan’s system, rushing 59 times for 365 yards and eight more touchdowns. At the 2022 Pro Bowl, Deebo after the game created a new position for himself. He declared himself a “wide back” (wide receiver that plays running back) after being used as a running back midway and through the rest of the season.
