I don't see another wide receiver with the vision, the patience and the YAC ability he possesses. The problem? There are no other players like him. I remember working on the NFL Network's draft coverage a few years back, and Charles Davis had the funny comment of the combine when he said that every team is in "Finding Deebo" mode. Samuel finished the regular season with 14 total touchdowns (six receiving and eight rushing), the most by a member of the 49ers since Terrell Owens had 14 in 2002 (13 receiving and one rushing). Samuel is the first non-quarterback in franchise history to have at least one passing TD and at least one rushing TD in a game. His 24-yard touchdown pass was the first by a 49ers non-quarterback since wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on Dec. His eight rushing touchdowns are the most in a single season by a wide receiver in NFL history. He added eight rushes for 45 yards and a touchdown and threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings. Samuel hauled in four receptions for 95 yards on Sunday.

Truly, I'm not sure the league has ever seen a wide receiver used in as many ways as "19 Problems." Sunday's performance in the 49ers' OT win over the Rams was the full Samuel experience on display.įrom the San Francisco PR staff's postgame notes: How could you prepare for him? He's a unicorn. If the 49ers are going to beat the Cowboys on Sunday in Dallas, it will probably be because the Cowboys - like so many other teams before them - couldn't stop Deebo Samuel. The only thing missing? The same thing that has been missing since Peyton Manning last played a football game for Denver in 2015-16: a quarterback. Denver has five of the top 100 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, $50 million in salary-cap space and one of the best young rosters in the NFL. GM George Paton is in just his second year and has a pretty good "sell" to coaches looking to insert themselves into the Mile High family. With six head-coaching jobs currently open, I can't help but think that Denver's is awfully appealing. Hopefully, the results will be different as well. That might not be pleasant to hear, but after a year in which ownership was booed before honoring Eli Manning, and the team was the laughingstock of the league - it ranked dead last on the NFL Network's final Power Rankings show - all outside perspectives from winning cultures should be welcomed. And in that process, all of these prospective Giants GMs will offer their outside perspectives on what's wrong with the current state of affairs with Big Blue. Whomever they end up hiring will have gone through the process. This is all very new for the Giants and, if anything, a welcome change. Ryan Poles and Joe Schoen come from winning organizations in Kansas City and Buffalo, respectively. The two Tennessee names - Ryan Cowden and Monti Ossenfort - have built one of the deepest rosters in the NFL under GM Jon Robinson. Adam Peters has spent significant time in two winning organizations - Denver and San Francisco - and is ready for the big stage. Adrian Wilson and Ran Carthon are former players with experience both on the field and in the executive's office. This time around, though, the Giants are casting a wide net, and that alone is a sign of great change in New York. Only one of them, ESPN's Louis Riddick, lacked Giants roots. When the Giants hired Gettleman in 2017, they interviewed four candidates. Then Ernie Accorsi, a longtime NFL executive, carried the torch for nearly a decade.Īccorsi's replacement, Jerry Reese, was a young apprentice who held the position for 10 years before being replaced by Dave Gettleman, who, before his stint as Carolina's GM, was a longtime Giants scout. Hall of Famer George Young took over in 1979 and built two world champion squads. Historically, the Giants have hired from within or gone with long-established names when it comes to the GM position. It's a family business for the Maras, and the ownership goes back generations, all the way to when Tim Mara founded the team in 1925. The fact that the franchise is conducting such a wide-ranging general manager search signals a wave of new and fresh thinking for Big Blue. This week, we look at big changes coming to the New York Giants, wonder if the Cowboys can do anything to stop 49ers unicorn Deebo Samuel, ponder the NFL's most appealing coaching vacancy and more.Īs much as everyone is going to be focused on the Giants' coaching hire, I am intrigued by the other position that is currently vacant. Welcome to the Super Wild Card Weekend edition of the Schrager Cheat Sheet.Įach week, I take a look at several things you need to know heading into the NFL weekend.
