Jerry Rice Criticizes Deebo Samuel for Drops After Social Media Complaints

The 49ers Hall-of-Famer called out the wide receiver for a critical drop following Samuel's public frustration over his lack of touches this season.

Deebo Samuel faced backlash after a critical drop during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams, a game that further harmed San Francisco's playoff hopes.
Samuel had previously expressed frustration on social media about not getting enough opportunities, a post he later deleted.
Jerry Rice, widely regarded as the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, criticized Samuel for complaining and failing to capitalize on chances during the game.
Samuel's drop came on a third-quarter play that could have resulted in a 29-yard touchdown but instead led to a field goal.
The 49ers, now 6-8 and struggling with injuries, have relied on veterans like Samuel to step up, but his performance this season has been below expectations, with just 43 receptions and five drops.
