San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a trade) below. Of course, these could change as the offseason progresses, so don't rush out to get your brand new Leonard Floyd jersey just yet.

49ers Throwback: Montana Magic and Terrifying Taylor

On their way to a back-to-back and fourth Super Bowl championship, the San Francisco 49ers had a remarkable Monday Night comeback against division rival Los Angeles Rams. The Rams had beaten the Niners 13-12 earlier in Week 4 when kicker Mike Lansford made a game-winning field goal.
After that divisional loss, the 49ers won eight of their last nine games, including a 34-24 victory over the New York Giants, who won the NFC East with a 12-4 record and earned the second-best record in the NFC.
On a cool 56-degree night on December 11, 1989, the 9-4 Rams had a chance to close within one game of the division-leading 11-2 49ers. The Rams took the opening kick and an early 7-0 lead over the 49ers with a Greg Bell three-yard touchdown run. After forcing the 49ers to

Opposing defenses already faced a daunting challenge against the San Francisco 49ers. Following the 2024 NFL Draft, that challenge intensified. While the team made no significant upgrades to the offensive line—and we'll see if that will impact production—it added more weapons for third-year quarterback Brock Purdy within an already loaded offense.
With Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and Jauan Jennings already in their lineup, the 49ers had a strong receiving corps. Barring any unexpected roster changes, all three will return for the upcoming season. However, refusing to rest on their laurels, general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan added two more wideouts to the group by drafting Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick and selecting Jacob Cowing
AFC executive believes 49ers envision using Ricky Pearsall like this rival receiver

While Ricky Pearsall might not have been available by the time the San Francisco 49ers' second-round pick rolled around, initially at No. 63 overall, questions linger about whether he warranted the No. 31 overall pick and if the team overlooked other pressing needs. Was he truly deserving of being the sixth wide receiver drafted? Only time will provide the answers.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently singled out Pearsall's selection as the biggest head-scratcher of the 2024 NFL Draft, stating, "Most teams I spoke to pegged him as a Day 2 pick. Considering the 49ers still have Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on the roster, bolstering the offensive or defensive line seemed like a sensible
Is this the best wide receiver group Kyle Shanahan has had with the 49ers?

If you want wide receivers, the San Francisco 49ers have you covered. In addition to bringing back their top three receivers from 2023, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and Jauan Jennings, the 49ers are also bringing back Chris Conley, Danny Gray, Ronnie Bell, Trent Taylor, and others. And if that wasn't enough, they drafted Ricky Pearsall (Florida) and Jacob Cowing (Arizona) and signed undrafted rookie free agent, Terique Owens (Missouri State).
That's a solid receiving corp, led by two Pro Bowlers and a guy with a knack for picking up first downs. But where does this group rank among those Kyle Shanahan has had in San Francisco?
We can't compare this group to those from the 1980s and 1990s. That would be unfair. Any wide receiver group with Jerry Rice, the greatest
