How Deebo Samuel got his original 49ers jersey back as Jacob Cowing's selfless gesture wins over fans: 'Good man'

Deebo Samuel returned to the San Francisco 49ers in free agency after spending the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders.

Samuel originally wore No. 19 with the 49ers, switched to No. 1 in 2024, and continued wearing No. 1 with the Commanders.

Jacob Cowing, who held No. 19, changed to No. 6 to allow Samuel to reclaim his original number.

Samuel confirmed the switch with an Instagram post saying '19 Baxxxkkkkk'.

Fans praised Cowing's gesture, with one comment calling him a 'Good man'.
