Deebo Samuel turned heads with his pregame outfit as he walked into Raymond James Stadium for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but not in a good way.
Videos surfaced on social media of the San Francisco 49ers wideout donning a pair of shorts paired with a full-sleeve jacket over a black t-shirt. He accessorized his outfit with a thick silver chain and carried a bag in his hand.
The outfit had NFL fans feeling all sorts of ways. One fan joked it looked like he had just walked out of one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' outrageous parties.

"Just left the Diddy party"
Another fan commented that his wardrobe selection was so bad that it looked his 4-year old daughter had picked his outfit.
"Shoutout to him for letting his 4 year old daughter dress him today."
Others also chimed in with their jokes about the wideout's unconventional pre-game outfit.
"Man WTH is wrong these dudes. We get it you want to be different and express yourself but damn..smh" one fan said disapprovingly.
"Arms swinging? Pursed lips? Is that Deebo or an auntie?" another fan joked.
"Leather jacket with shorts is diabolical" one fan said.
"San Francisco really rubbed off on him" another fan remarked.
Deebo Samuel was spooked by GM John Lynch
The San Francisco 49ers player revealed that he got the scare of his life when he got a call from the Niners’s GM John Lynch on the day of the NFL Trade Deadline. He assumed the worst. That he was going to be traded from his beloved Niners team.
"I look at my phone like 'Yo, why is he calling me right now?'" Samuel recalled on an episode of Cleats and Convos.
However, Lynch had called for a much more innocuous purpose. He said that his daughter will be the one running the NFL ad that Deebo Samuel was going to do that day.
Deebo was relieved but he did feel like giving Lynch a piece of his mind. But for all he knew, Lynch might not have been aware that since it was the trade deadline, his team’s players would have been on edge. And getting a call from their GM, many of them might have been scared to death fearing the worst.
Can Deebo Samuel help the Niners win over the Buccaneers and improve their record to 5-4?
