Jones’ exclusive remark on Samuel
Analyst Jon Jones made an unexpected remark on the Niners wideout athlete while speaking to NBC Sports Bay Area on the Super Bowl Radio Row, referring to him as a one-of-a-kind athlete in the sport.
He stated, “I think we’d say Deebo, you’re absolutely right. You’re talking about a guy who is really one-of-one. There’s no other player like him in our league. I cannot see somebody putting a receiver at running back right now and doing what Deebo has done.”
Samuel’s ability to play on the turf is inexplicable. Maybe no other athlete is capable of doing as well as he does. Even Jon Jones is on board. Jones goes on to say that if he tries to bump as Deebo, he’ll have to stay in the ice tub for two days straight. He’s a different kind of linebacker as he runs through tackles.
