Deebo Samuel’s weight has been a topic of discussion, with 49ers insider Tim Kawakami claiming the wide receiver played 20 pounds overweight last season. This perceived lack of fitness reportedly contributed to Samuel’s subpar performance, which included just 51 receptions and four total touchdowns in 15 games. Kawakami believes Samuel’s weight issue led to a decline in his explosiveness and ability to break tackles, which are key aspects of his game. Samuel’s statistics did indeed show a significant drop from his breakout 2021 season, where he accumulated 1,770 scrimmage yards and 14 total touchdowns. The 49ers have already granted Samuel…
