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.

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.
