San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel’s interaction with a newborn baby at training camp on Friday is drawing plenty of attention.
In a heartwarming moment captured on video, Samuel signed the baby’s onesie without hesitation, marking his signature right on the middle of the baby’s clothes.
Even though the baby was asleep, the devoted 49ers fan holding the infant will surely remember this unique experience from one of the game’s best wide receivers.
This sweet exchange didn’t just warm the hearts of those present. The footage quickly spread on social media, with fans praising Samuel for his kindness and down-to-earth attitude.
“An Absolute legend,” said one 49ers fan.
"Deebo for prez!!!," said another
Others joked about Samuel’s gesture, comparing it to Will Ferrell’s character, Ricky Bobby, from the movie Talladega Nights .
In the film, Ferrell’s character also signs a baby, though he decided to autograph the infant’s head.
Samuel’s act of kindness is just another example of his positive impact both on and off the field.
As the 49ers gear up for the new season, aiming to bounce back from their narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl, Samuel’s actions reflect his commitment to the team and its fans.
Deebo Samuel and the 49ers narrowly lost to the Chiefs in last year's Super Bowl, 25-22 in overtime.
