Puka Nacua Obliges Fan’s Request to Sign 49ers’ Deebo Samuel Jersey at Pro Bowl

The Rams’ rookie put aside the NFC West rivalry to sign a fan’s Deebo Samuel jersey at the Pro Bowl.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua was a fan favorite at the 2024 Pro Bowl Games, and he had supporters of all teams clamoring for his autograph on Sunday in Orlando.

That included fans of the division rival San Francisco 49ers, as someone in attendance urged Nacua to sign their Deebo Samuel jersey.

Nacua appeared to hesitate, but he agreed to sign the jersey due to the fact that San Francisco was in the Super Bowl.

“That’s tough. That’s alright. You’re in the Super Bowl so I’ll give it to you,” said Nacua to the fan after signing the 49ers jersey.

Nacua rose to league-wide popularity during his rookie season in Los Angeles. In addition to becoming a fantasy football superstar, the 22-year-old broke the all-time NFL rookie receiving yards record with 1,486 and receptions with 105. 

It’s no surprise that fans were clamoring for his autograph during the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday, and even when handed a jersey from his rival team, Nacua couldn’t help but slap a signature on Samuel’s No. 19 in order to please his adoring fans.
