During his brief stint in D.C., he hauled in 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-273d04fe=\"\">The 49ers have revamped their wide receiver corps this offseason. After re-tooling in free agency with veteran signings Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, they added explosive young talent by selecting Ole Miss speedster De\u2019Zhaun Stribling with the No. 33 overall pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-273d04fe=\"\">Faced with growing concern over Ricky Pearsall\u2019s lingering knee injury, the 49ers will turn to a proven commodity in Samuel. Bringing back the veteran wideout gives Kyle Shanahan an immediate playmaker who already knows the playbook like the back of his hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-273d04fe=\"\">Samuel, now 30, was selected No. 36 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft and put the league on notice with his immediate impact. He quickly became one of the most versatile playmakers in the league and was instrumental in the franchise\u2019s turnaround under Shanahan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-273d04fe=\"\">In six seasons with San Francisco, Samuel posted 334 receptions, 4,792 receiving yards, and 22 touchdown catches. The All-Pro and Pro Bowl wideout was equally dynamic in the backfield, piling up 1,143 rushing yards and 20 scores on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-273d04fe=\"\">With Samuel reunited with Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy, the 49ers feature a completely revamped receiving corps anchored by Samuel and Evans as they look to bounce back and compete for the NFC West title.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There will be a second Deebo Samuel era in the Bay Area.\u00a0 The San Francisco 49ers and Samuel agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, ESPN reported Thursday evening, bringing back the 30-year-old for another run in the red and gold.
