The NFL has several rivalries that bring extra energy to in-game matchups.
Some rivalries have been going on for decades, such as the battle between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
Others are new, as players tend to have rivalries with players on different teams.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has a standing feud with C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
Gardner-Johnson recently called out Samuel in an Instagram video, as shared in a conversation with Kay Adams.
In response to Gardner Johnson’s comments, Samuel said, “He just sound like he’s mad I got a little bag and a lot of money and no one knows who he is.”

Samuel’s “bag,” is about the contract extension he signed with the 49ers in the offseason.
The 49ers extended Samuel through the 2025 season, signing him to a three-year deal worth more than $70 million.
This extension came after a season of alleged tension between Samuel and the 49ers.
During the 2022 season, Samuel was utilized as both a receiver and a running back, as the team created plays for him in both aspects of the game.
Gardner-Johnson used this as one of his talking points in the video, saying that Samuel was “just a running back.”
He also claimed that he could lock down Samuel any time he wanted.
Unfortunately for NFL fans, a matchup between these two players must wait.
The Lions and 49ers do not face each other during the regular season, meaning these teams would need to square up in the playoffs to see this challenge come to fruition.
