The seven-year veteran has completed 300 of 442 passes (67.9 percent) for 3,955 yards and 39 touchdowns with four interceptions. He also has run the ball 130 times for 852 yards and four touchdowns, bringing his totals from scrimmage to 4,807 yards and 43 scores.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel, though, really likes Barkley for MVP, too, but understands that the award tends to go to quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>San Francisco 49ers<\/h3>\n<p>Find the latest San Francisco 49ers news, highlights, analysis and more with NBC Sports Bay Area and California.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think the MVP is like a quarterback award,\u201d Samuel said. \u201cI kind of look at it like last year &#8212; [San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey] had one of the craziest seasons.

A similar vibe exists for Barkley.<\/p>\n<p>In his first season with Philadelphia, Barkley has rushed for a sensational 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns, helping lead the Eagles to a current 13-3 record. He should be a lock for his first career Offensive Player of the Year honor.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel and San Francisco might have missed the upcoming NFL playoffs, but the veteran wideout did not miss on his picks for two of the league\u2019s top honors with Jackson and Barkley.<\/p>\n<p>Download and follow the 49ers Talk Podcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel revealed his votes for NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":23153,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[13,175],"class_list":["post-23152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-deebo-samuel","tag-lamar-jackson"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
