Mini bio
How it started.
Deebo grew up in Inman, South Carolina, and played at Chapman High School, where he set a school record with 53 career touchdowns. At South Carolina, he contributed as a receiver, runner and kick returner, earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2018, and graduated with a degree in retail management.
The breakout.
San Francisco drafted him 36th overall in 2019. His 2021 season brought first-team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl selection: he produced 1,770 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. His mix of receiving and rushing became known as the “wide back” role. Fellow players ranked him No. 19 in the NFL’s 2022 Top 100.
Behind the microphone.
In September 2024, he launched Cleats and Convos with Bleacher Report and co-host Liv Moods. The video podcast gives him space to talk football and life with other players, including Ricky Pearsall and Emmanuel Sanders. He has also used the show to discuss supporting his hometown, announcing a $20,000 donation for Hurricane Helene relief in 2024.
The latest chapter.
After being traded to Washington in March 2025, Deebo returned to San Francisco on a one-year deal in August 2026. He reached 50 career scrimmage touchdowns against Arizona that September. The 49ers’ November 6 injury update ruled him out of the Raiders game with a hamstring injury.
