Deebo replaces Pearsall; 49ers become 4th team to start five 30+ skill players.
Deebo SamuelWRSF
The 49ers signed Deebo Samuel as a potential 1-for-1 replacement for 25-year-old Ricky Pearsall, aging the offense by five to six years. Samuel, age 30, could start at the 'Z' receiver position alongside other 30+ skill-position players (Mike Evans, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk), making the 49ers the fourth team in the Super Bowl era to start five non-QB skill-position players age 30 or older in the same game. The source notes the team may lose field-stretching ability without Pearsall but that Samuel can still run; he reached 19.23 mph on a kickoff against the Raiders last September, among the top times for 49ers last season.
