Owens Critiques Deebo Samuel's 2024 Performance

Former 49ers star Terrell Owens publicly criticized current San Francisco wide receiver Deebo Samuel for his underwhelming performance during the 2024 NFL season, suggesting that Samuel is more focused on his pregame attire than the game itself. Owens, while stating his comments were 'tongue-in-cheek', highlighted that Samuel's production has not met his own or the team's expectations, with only 490 receiving yards and two total touchdowns in nine games. Despite being a previous All-Pro, Samuel's output has declined, raising concerns given his substantial salary. In response to Owens' remarks, Samuel took to social media with a terse message, indicating his dismissal of Owens' critique. San Francisco is struggling with a 5-5 record, placing them at the bottom of the NFC West, and they hope for a turnaround as they face the Green Bay Packers.
