An Open Letter from Deebo Samuel Sr. to His Loyal Fans and the Entire San Francisco 49ers Family
To My Faithful Fans, Teammates, and the Entire 49ers Community,
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to every single one of you who has supported me throughout my journey—both on and off the field. Wearing the red and gold every Sunday isn’t just about playing football; it’s about representing a community, a legacy, and a fanbase that lives and breathes this game.
This season has been a rollercoaster of emotions—moments of triumph, challenges we had to overcome, and lessons learned through every snap, every catch, and every yard gained. But one thing remained constant: your unwavering support. Whether in the stands at Levi’s Stadium, through messages on social media, or from fans across the world, your voices and passion fuel me to give my all every single game.
Football, as much as it’s a game of physicality and skill, is also a game of heart. And my heart belongs to this team and this city. I’ve given everything I have—every ounce of energy, every bead of sweat—to help bring success and pride to San Francisco. But I know none of it would be possible without my teammates, the coaching staff, and you—the fans who make this all worth it.
This offseason, there will be conversations, decisions, and plans for the future. But no matter what lies ahead, know this: I will always carry the spirit of The Faithful with me. I’ve grown not just as a player, but as a man in this city. You embraced me, supported me, and held me accountable to the standard that comes with wearing this jersey.
As we look ahead to what’s next, I promise to remain focused, dedicated, and ready to give my best to this game and to the team that I love. San Francisco isn’t just where I play—it’s a part of who I am.
Thank you for believing in me, standing by me, and being the heartbeat of this incredible journey.
With respect and gratitude,
Deebo Samuel Sr.
