Deebo Samuel puts hand on teammate’s neck in nasty 49ers sideline spat
NY Post
Call it a bad case of the Sundays.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was seen with his hands around the neck of a teammate — long-snapper Taybor Pepper — late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Week 10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The altercation occurred just moments after 49ers kicker Jake Moody missed his third field goal attempt of the game. San Francisco was up by three points at the time, but with the miss, were gave the ball back to Baker Mayfield and company with about three minutes to play.
Back on the sideline, Samuel began barking at his special team teammates to “lock in,” Pepper told reporters after the game.
The spat became physical as the star wideout wrapped one hand under Pepper’s helmet and around his neck, then took a swipe at Moody.
The long-snapper stepped up as if to challenge Samuel, but Moody held him back.
