Despite many players being away from the team on their bye week, one of the 49ers’ captains was able to weigh in on San Francisco’s recent acquisition of defensive end Chase Young.
During his weekly appearance on the “Up & Adams Show,” Deebo Samuel explained his excitement surrounding the 49ers’ splash move for Young ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
“It’s just crazy all the guys that we got on the D-line, and just to add him, and it’s such an impact he’s had on his career this far, for him to be a part of the team is kind of amazing,” Samuel told Adams. “You know we already got good guys out there on the D-line right now. Just to add him is like an extra little up that I think we need.”
When Adams asked if Samuel had spoken to his new teammate since the trade, the 49ers’ star wide receiver shared details of a phone call with Young immediately after hearing about the transaction.
“Yeah, I actually called him after I got the news because I was out there on the field working out,” Samuel said. “I was like, ‘Bro, you ready to come out here,’ he was like, ‘Man, I was just on the massage table and to just get a call that I’m going to the Niners, s–t I’m ready to go!’
