Yahoo Sports NFL on Deebo Samuel

49ers evaluating Deebo Samuel as a punt returner after seven seasons.

The 49ers are exploring a new role for Deebo Samuel: punt returner. Samuel was among several players who caught punts during a recent training camp session. His last punt return came during his sophomore year at South Carolina, where he returned only two punts in his college career. Samuel has not returned a punt in his seven NFL seasons, making this a potential new responsibility being evaluated by the team.
