49ers GM John Lynch terrified Deebo Samuel with a phone call at the NFL trade deadline

Deebo Samuel had quite the scare before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, but now he can laugh about it.

Hours before the deadline, the San Francisco 49ers receiver filmed a commercial for “My Cause, My Cleats” at Levi's Stadium. Suddenly, 49ers general manager John Lynch started calling him.

“I look at my phone and I'm like, 'Yo, why is he calling me now?'” Samuel said during one Studs and Convos Consequence. “I answer the phone and he says, 'Yeah, man, my daughter is going to be the one directing the NFL commercial you're doing today.' I say, “Don't call me.”…I don't think he really thought about the time he called me. I looked at my phone and thought, 'Why is this man calling me now?'”

Samuel said he wasn't too scared because he wasn't expected to be traded. Still, it was a crazy time for Lynch to call him.
