Story summary

Deebo Samuel, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, went viral over the weekend when he hosted an e-dating stream on TikTok while sidelined with a hamstring injury. During the livestream, Samuel acted as a wingman between two users named "Bebo" and "Isabel," helping them connect online despite his own absence from football games due to injuries. Although Samuel is in a long-term relationship with Mahogany Jones, fans found humor in his creative use of social media during his recovery period. The 49ers head coach, Kyle Shanahan, stated that Samuel would be out for "at least a couple of weeks," but the player's engagement on TikTok suggests he may continue these activities even as the team progresses through its season.
