Yahoo Sports NFL on Deebo Samuel

Article49ers release first official depth chartSeptember 3, 2026

From the article

One area where Deebo's addition is being slept on is his blocking prowess. He was exceptional in that category. Robinson was not. So maybe Robinson only sees the field on obvious passing downs, where Stribling and Deebo can be used more on a down-to-down basis.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Deebo's elite blocking could earn him more down-to-down snaps than Robinson.

Deebo Samuel's blocking prowess is being undervalued in discussions of his role; the source notes he was exceptional in blocking, which could enable him to see more down-to-down usage compared to Demarcus Robinson, who was not a strong blocker and may be limited to obvious passing downs.
