Deebo Samuel says he is all for returning kickoffs under the NFL’s new rule, although 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan figures to refrain from deploying him there in a full-time role.
San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan, left, talks with Wide Receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. during a practice on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Santa Clara, Calif. SANTA CLARA – Ten wide receivers and running backs lined up in the end zone for the NFL’s newfangled kick-return duty, and one option was not like the others: Deebo Samuel.
“Kyle was like, ‘Hey man, I don’t want you to do it full time. We’ll just use you whenever we need it.’ I’m fine with that,” Samuel said. “But if you want to use me full-time, I’m all for that, as well.” Rookie running back Isaac Guerendo projected as a lead candidate for the returner role, but he sustained a hamstring injury Wednesday in camp’s first practice. Another speedy rookie, Jacob Cowing, is also apparently hurting. With this new rule, however, teams should have more options than a typical return specialist.
