2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was on hand for mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday, but he wasn't in uniform and was running on a side field. Samuel requested a trade this offseason, but the 49ers remain adamant that they have no intentions of sending the star receiver packing. It's good to see the 26-year-old present at mandatory minicamp, but he and the team likely still aren't on great terms just yet. Samuel finished as the WR2 behind Cooper Kupp last year with 77 catches for 1,405 yards, a league-leading 18.2 yards per catch and six touchdowns, adding 59 carries for 365 yards and another eight TDs on the ground. His ceiling may fall if he's not used as a runner as much in 2022, but regardless, he's a strong WR1 target.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
