Quietly Outrageous: The Stylish Alter-Ego of Deebo Samuel

Deebo Samuel, the 49ers second-round pick out of South Carolina, is quietly having the most prolific rookie season by a Niners wideout since Hall of Famer, Jerry Rice. And while Samuel is humble and understated on the field, he’s anything but when it comes to his sense of style off of it. With help from Senior Editor, Daniel Brown, we get into the story of when Samuel’s love of fashion began, when it bloomed, the intriguing juxtaposition of the way he plays and the way he dresses, and what he hopes to do with his passion for clothing down the road.
