Social media reacts to Deebo Samuel's big first half in Super Bowl debut
San Francisco’s first touchdown went to Kyle Juszczyk, but social media is buzzing about another 49er: Deebo Samuel.
The former South Carolina Gamecock is getting some early MVP buzz for being a versatile playmaker and helping the 49ers move up and down the field. He already has a new Super Bowl record for the longest rush by a wide receiver in The Big Game.
Samuel has 2 rushes for 39 yards plus 4 catches for 23 yards.
Here’s a small sample of what social media is saying about Samuel in the first half:
Deebo Samuel balling out tonight.

Deebo Samuel off to a very good start. Wondering if they will go back to him throwing the ball at some point in this game?

Fortunately Deebo Samuel has years of experience being an entire offense by himself

Deebo Samuel on that drive was like "Oh, that bike. I didn't know you wanted it back, homie. It's right here. Come with me."
