San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuel is in the news for the wrong reason as he’s been accused of sliding into Jake Paul’s girlfriend Julia Rose’s DM’s. What was he looking for in Rose’s DM’s?

This week, Paul learned that San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuel slid into his girlfriend Julia Rose’s DMs.
He then went on to rip NBA and NFL guys for their lack of skills in the sliding department.
Paul didn’t seem to know who the receiver was in the video and posted the video with the name censored, asking people to guess. The NFL world was quick to react to the video in their traditional fashion.
Deebo recently signed a three-year extension worth a reported $73.5 million, $58.1 million of which is guaranteed. While it’s still a monster number, Samuel’s deal is still way behind the highest-paid wide receiver in the league.
Deebo vs. Jake Paul next?
He is looking for an opponent.
With the recent cancellation of his planned Aug. 6 showdown with Hasim Rahman Jr., it’s becoming increasingly clear Jake Paul has a problem finding appropriate opponents. It’s a complicated issue that has no clear solution because Paul is more than simply an aspiring boxer. Paul is also a social media superstar and someone whose profile leads to his fights being pay-per-view attractions.
When a fight needs to be on pay-per-view, it requires an opponent who has the right appeal. To this point in Paul’s 5-0 career, he has fought social media influencers, former NBA stars and former mixed martial arts champions. While Paul has clearly improved as a boxer and shows natural power, scoring some truly scintillating knockouts over men with no real boxing experience, his success and profile have led to demands he face a “real boxer” in his next outing.
Rahman and Fury were options because they had — admittedly very thin — professional boxing resumes and their last names carried at least some cache with fans.
So, the question becomes: Now what?
