Deebo Samuel is a weapon with the ball in his hands and the 49ers were deliberate about getting him touches, especially as the season progressed. By week 13, Shanahan was giving him at least one carry per week, and that continued through the playoffs.

Kyle Shanahan is like an evil genius when it comes to scheming up misdirections and getting his playmakers the ball in space. Shanahan should be able to layer a lot more wrinkles onto this part of the playbook assuming Deebo Samuel makes a full recovery, due to the addition of Brandon Aiyuk and the presumptive health of Jalen Hurd.
