It’s no secret that Deebo Samuel is a special athlete. At South Carolina, Samuel was an electric playmaker on offense and special teams. A video making the rounds on social media may have Gamecocks hoops coach Frank Martin wondering what might have been.
Niners Nation media manager Alex Tran shared a video of Samuel posterizing some poor soul on the hardwood. Samuel’s grade as an NFL Draft prospect was hurt by his listed height of 5-11, but as this video shows, he can play higher than that. The San Francisco 49ers selected Samuel in the second round with the No. 36 overall pick.

49ers fans should enjoy watching Samuel the next few seasons.
