49ers vs. Cowboys: 5 biggest takeaways from Wild Card win
No. 2: Deebo Samuel is the most dangerous player left in NFL playoffs
One of the many responsibilities of a head coach is to put his best players in positions to succeed. There is no one left in the playoffs using a player better than Kyle Shanahan is using Deebo Samuel.
The comfort and ease in which Samuel transitions between wide receiver and running back is remarkable. He does not get enough credit for having such incredible knowledge of the offensive playbook. To be able to memorize two different positions and have the impact he has shows his unique work ethic.
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Samuel had an injury-riddled sophomore season last year and dedicated himself this offseason to staying healthy and productive.
His hard work has paid dividends, and with Shanahan’s ability to dial-up unorthodox offensive sets, Samuel is a force that will not be stopped anytime soon.
