Offensive Rookie of the Year

WR Deebo Samuel

This award belonged to Justin Skule at the halfway mark. Samuel at that point had just 18 catches, 187 yards, one touchdown reception, and five rushes for 37 yards and one touchdown on the ground. The way Samuel came on at the end of the year made him the easy choice for 49ers Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Over the final nine games, Samuel had 39 receptions for 615 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed nine times for 122 yards and two touchdowns. It was a remarkable close to the season, and he wound up setting a record for 49ers rookie wide receivers with 961 yards from scrimmage. The No. 36 overall pick has become an essential part of the 49ers’ offense, and he’s the lone rookie consistently producing on that side of the ball.
