Not only that, but Samuel feels that Garoppolo is a “winner in his book” and “never fails.” These are strong words from the 49ers star, who clearly doesn't want his quarterback going anywhere.

Perhaps Samuel's bold declaration on Garoppolo will make the 49ers rethink any plans on the quarterback's future as they consider any and all options, including rumored trades. It would certainly make sense for them to do so, as Samuel has emerged as not only the best playmaker on the team, but also an influential voice in the locker room.

When Deebo Samuel talks, people listen. Will the 49ers listen to Samuel's strong statement on Jimmy Garoppolo?
