49ers biggest studs, duds from NFC Championship loss vs. Rams

49ers Stud: Wide Receiver Deebo Samuel

What else can someone say about Deebo Samuel?

The 49ers would not have made it to the NFC Championship game without the physical superstar that is Samuel, who is a type of player that leaves it all out on the field. He is the heart and soul of the 2021 San Francisco 49ers, and he played his heart out in the NFC Championship game.

Samuel touted the rock and took some hard hits early in the game. Still, he kept coming back for more and making critical, exciting plays to keep the team moving. It cannot be overhyped, Samuel is a warrior before he can be called an athlete.

But, make no mistake, Samuel is an elite athlete with exceptional speed and explosive power.

Samuel has made the Faithful proud and excited to see his career ascend with the Niners. Still, no one wants to see a warrior like Samuel fail, and the Faithful have seen warriors like him fail to win that elusive ring. See one: running back Frank Gore.

Surely, it hurt the Faithful to see Samuel hurting on the sideline after the tough loss.

Who was also in attendance for this game? Said legendary 49er, Gore.

Hopefully, this is not the last time Samuel makes a deep playoff run, and he deserves a ring, period.

Here’s to hoping that next season, Samuel is hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
