Thursday, wide receiver Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers addressed a video that shows him passing a young autograph-seeking fan during his youth football camp in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Samuel replied to a tweet from the camp’s organiser, FlexWork Sports Management. He stated that all campers received a signed photograph, but he was unable to sign personal items.
The young fan requested that Samuel sign a football bearing the 49ers’ logo. Samuel, who has played the first three seasons of his NFL career in San Francisco, has a lengthy trade request on the table. Samuel’s refusal to sign the ball had apparently nothing to do with the team’s logo, judging by his comments.
400 campers I wasn’t able to autograph personal items, but every camper went home with a signed photo.
Wishing everybody a happy and healthy 4th of July Weekend!

Samuel, who was born and raised in Inman, South Carolina, and attended college in South Carolina, is coming off a dominant 2021 campaign in which he accumulated 1,770 total yards and 14 touchdowns for the NFC champions.
Hosting a camp in my hometown this past week was a real blessing and the support was truly special. Thank you to the campers, parents, coaches, support staff, Spartanburg HS and the city of Spartanburg.
I am grateful for every single one of my fans. Unfortunately with over 400 https://t.co/9o7x5yaeTT
