49 The Man team did have a crowded receiving room going into the regular season. Deebo Samuel was the unquestionable first choice. He was awarded a three-year, $73.5 million contract last month after setting career highs with 1,405 receiving yards, 1,770 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Brandon Aiyuk, like Gray, seems to have developed a good relationship with Lance. They have worked out together each offseason for the past two years.

Gray is a great addition to these playmakers because he has the speed to catch the ball against opposing defenses.
