San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel has showed up to the team’s Summer training despite his pending trade request, but he certainly doesn’t look very happy to be there.
Over the weekend, a video of Samuel was going viral for all the wrong reasons.
When a young fan with a football asked Deebo Samuel for an autograph, a video of the receiver walking away without granting the wish painted a damning picture.
@19problemz took 3 seconds to make this kids day and possibly his life! You clearly dont understand the assignment of a role model. Damn shame! pic.twitter.com/bKF9JlGzQw

Shortly after seeing he was going viral, Deebo Samuel explained why he couldn’t sign the ball for the kid.
400 campers I wasn’t able to autograph personal items, but every camper went home with a signed photo.
Wishing everybody a happy and healthy 4th of July Weekend!

The incident in question occurred during Deebo Samuel’s football camp for kids in South Carolina.
In his defense, it would be extremely time consuming to sign every single kid’s ball. But once it was that easy, he could have just given the kid the damn autograph.
Still, the Niners are intent on keeping Deebo Samuel despite his trade ask. But perhaps that could change if another team were to offer a massive haul for his services.
Time will tell.
