Throughout the first half of the regular season opener, the 49ers' versatile weapon Deebo Samuel was heavily involved out of the backfield. With Christian McCaffrey ruled out before kickoff, Samuel's adaptability became crucial for coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, which struggled initially to find the end zone. This need for flexibility showcased Samuel's prolific role as both a receiver and a runner, vital for the team's success.
In the second quarter, the 49ers finally scored their first touchdown of the season, thanks to Deebo Samuel. His ability to contribute to the offense in both rushing and receiving plays distinguishes him in critical situations. The drive, which was fraught with penalties, relied heavily on the determined runs from Jordan Mason, ultimately culminating in Samuel's short touchdown run around the right edge.
