🏈 Autographed Deebo Samuel San Francisco 49ers Black Football Jersey JSA COA — The Authenticated Signed San Francisco 49ers Black Alternate Jersey of the Two-Time Pro Bowl "Wide Back" Whose Physical Versatility Has Made Him One of the Most Difficult Offensive Weapons to Defend in the Modern NFL and One of Kyle Shanahan's Most Valued Pieces in the San Francisco 49ers' Championship-Contending Offense

🏈 The modern NFL has produced a new category of player that the old position labels cannot fully describe — a player who occupies the wide receiver position in the alignment chart but who can line up in the backfield and carry the ball as a running back, who can motion into the slot and run routes that defeat linebackers and safeties, and who brings the running style of a physical back combined with the receiving ability of an elite wideout to every touch he gets. The term "wide back" was invented specifically to describe Deebo Samuel — coined by San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan to capture what Samuel does in the 49ers' offense in a way that no existing term in the football vocabulary could fully contain.

🏈 Samuel was born on January 15, 1996, in Inman, South Carolina — a small town in the Upstate region of South Carolina, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Friday night football is the social anchor of community life and the sport is taken seriously from the time young players can hold a ball. He developed his explosive athleticism and his physicality in that environment before taking his game to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where he played for the Gamecocks in the SEC — a conference whose defensive talent provides one of the most demanding proving grounds in college football. In Columbia, Samuel showed flashes of what he would become: a receiver who breaks arm tackles, who runs after the catch like a running back, and whose combination of strength and speed makes him dangerous in every phase of the game.

🏈 The San Francisco 49ers selected Samuel in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft — 36th overall — bringing him into Kyle Shanahan's offensive system, which operates from a wide-zone running foundation and creates unique deployment opportunities for players with Samuel's kind of versatility. What followed in San Francisco was the development of the "wide back" concept into one of the most innovative offensive positions in the modern game: Samuel lining up as a receiver, motioning into the backfield, taking jet sweeps and end-arounds and receiving screens that the 49ers turned into rushing plays on the stat sheet because Samuel was running the ball after the catch with the same style and physicality that a true running back brings. In 2021, he rushed for 365 yards on 59 carries — a production line from a wide receiver that had virtually no precedent in NFL history. He earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2021 and 2022, and his role as the physical centerpiece of one of the NFC's most consistently successful offenses has made him one of the league's most recognizable and valued offensive weapons.

🏈 The San Francisco 49ers black alternate jersey signed in this presentation is the sleek Black Out design that the franchise deploys as a visual contrast to their primary red-and-gold uniform identity — a jersey that has become a collector favorite for its clean, bold aesthetic and its association with the 49ers' modern NFC championship-contending era.
