You won't believe what (or who) Deebo Samuel autographed at 49ers camp
Ever.

Deebo Samuel is a man of the people. Or, should we say, he's a man of the children?
San Francisco 49ers fans love wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
While fans attending the Niners' training camp outside of Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, probably wouldn't mind getting anyone's autograph once practices are complete, there's a good chance those fans wouldn't mind waiting a little longer when Samuel comes around.
So, it's no surprise a bunch of fans lined up in droves for Samuel's autograph after Friday's practice.
The usual items are expected to be autographed: balls, hats and jerseys. Maybe there's the occasional team program or even a napkin. You never know.
But there was one item (should we even call it that?) that stands out as unique.
Deebo Samuel autographs a baby at 49ers training camp
At one point in the autograph line, some die-hard San Francisco fan handed Samuel not a ball, hat or jersey to sign.
No, the fan offered up a baby. Yes, a baby:

Samuel didn't hesitate to autograph the little bundle. Considering Samuel has his own young son, there's probably a bit more joy in signing a new baby who probably just experienced its first introduction to football that day.
Too bad that child won't remember this special moment, but it's safe to say this particular autograph won't wind up on the auction block at any point.
