SANTA CLARA: Deebo Though Samuel may have had a negative outlook on his 2022 season with the 49ers, Trent Williams, a teammate, saw no decline in the receiver’s abilities.
On Wednesday, Williams admitted, “To be honest, I didn’t.” “I mistook him for Deebo.” Everyone is, after all, their own worst critic. He is superior. Though I understand that he is harsh on himself, I felt he was a playwright for us.
Close friends, Williams and Samuel lead the squad with their Bumpboxx from the locker room to the field before kickoff and frequently train out together throughout the summer. In the 2022 campaign, the All-Pro left tackle saw no discernible change in his buddy.

But the numbers after Samuel’s incredible 2021 season paint a different picture. The “wide-back,” who finished the 2022 season with an 18.2 yards-per-reception average to lead the league, had lingering injuries despite amassing over 1,400 receiving yards.
With just 13 games played during the regular season, Samuel only had 632 receiving yards and an average of 11.3 yards per reception. The 27-year-old said that his summer training regimen went awry because of the drama surrounding his contract renewal.
Now that Samuel has made the commitment to never again have a “sluggish” moment on the field, Williams has noticed that he is approaching practice with a different mindset.
“He has unquestionably been.
He has undoubtedly been working hard, Williams remarked. “I believe that every offseason, even if it’s only by 1%, great athletes learn how to perform a little bit better. You find ways to restore your body’s health, whether you start quickly or gradually.
