PositiveBreakout0:00

De'Zhaun Stribling is a high-upside breakout candidate for San Francisco, noted for his athleticism and immediate target command. He made history as the first player in at least 20 years to record 11 catches within the first 20 minutes of two consecutive preseason games. His path to playing time is bolstered by Ricky Pearsall being out for the season and potential usage concerns regarding Deebo Samuel. Furthermore, Stribling is expected to benefit from the legendary efficiency of Brock Purdy, who provides high-quality targets, and he is viewed as a player who could emulate the early-career production of Brandon Aiyuk.

0:00Scribbling not only looks like a good
0:02pick for San Francisco. He looks like a
0:03potential great pick and a guy that
0:05could emulate Brandon Aiyuk 2023 like
0:08early on in his career. Is that
0:10hyperbole from me?
0:11>> Not at all. And And Theo, I don't think
0:13we were shocked.
0:14>> No, not me and you. Not me and you.
0:15Those other guys. We We You know, we
0:17have receipts on this one. We We
0:18actually talked about Scribbling
0:19together on a podcast before Ole Miss's
0:21college football playoff as a guy that
0:23could be a highly drafted guy. Like we
0:24were on this athleticism and and sort of
0:27the profile, but I don't think either
0:28one of us thought of him as the guy that
0:30could basically command targets right
0:32off the jump.
0:33>> I think we for sure were like, "Oh, he's
0:35probably a
0:36a development guy for later, right? Next
0:38year, the year after." And turns out
0:40like Kevin's already hurt, Deebo
0:42Samuel's still fat. And then you Ricky
0:44Pearsall's out for the
0:45season. Who plays ahead of De'Shawn
0:47Scribbling at this point? And then you
0:48get the first two preseason games. We
0:50also talk about the efficiency of Brock
0:52Purdy is sort of legendary over the last
0:54couple years. Uh so, you're It's not
0:56just the number of targets in San
0:58Francisco. It's the quality of targets
1:00with Brock Purdy. This is an
1:01unbelievable stat. And And this is Ryan
1:03Paganetti. Uh De'Shawn Scribbling's
1:05preseason start is truly unbelievable.
1:08He's the first player in at least 20
1:10years to total 11 catches within the
1:13first 20 minutes of two consecutive
1:16preseason games.
