SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Deebo Samuel has looked like a different person since arriving for the offseason program this spring for the San Francisco 49ers. The player who was an All-Pro in 2021 when he was one of the game's most dangerous playmakers is trying to get back to that form after slipping a bit the past two seasons. He came back this season at his lowest weight since entering the NFL and with the work ethic of a player with something to prove this season rather than the satisfaction of one who had already arrived.
