The 49ers made Samuel, 25, a second-round draft pick out of South Carolina in 2019. The third-year player has recorded 70 receptions for 1,247 yards, five receiving touchdowns, and seven rushing touchdowns. All are career-highs.
On December 22, it was announced that Samuel had earned his first Pro Bowl selection.
