San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Tyshun “Deebo” Samuel is a powerhouse on the field — and a proud dad off of it. He and his girlfriend Mahogany Jones welcomed son Tyshun Samuel Jr. on December 27, 2021, and have shared a sweet look at their family, whether it’s bringing “Deebo Jr.” to cheer from the sidelines or celebrating holidays together.
See their sweetest photos ahead.

Pride Receiver
Deebo reaches down to greet his son at a game on Dec. 25.
“Ever since I had him, I can say the level of play and the focus and determination I have for this game has went to another level, because not only am I playing for me, I’m playing for my family,” Samuel told reporters late last year. “So whenever I get to see him out there, he’s having a good time. It just gives me more energy to go out there and just make plays.”
Santa Baby
The father and son duo had an adorable matching moment in front of their Christmas tree.
Baby Love
In 2022, Deebo told reporters that his son is his primary motivation behind his drive to excel at the sport.
“My son is my priority before anything,” Samuel said. “My No. 1 thing is to make sure he has a life that I didn’t have growing up and just make sure he has not another worry on this earth. So that’s why I go out there every day, practice, games, just giving my all to make sure he’s fine.”

Son Shine
Deebo carries Tyshun on the field at an October game.
When asked at a Super Bowl press conference about playing in his first Super Bowl since his son’s birth, Deebo said, “It’s just moments like this that will never be taken away. Like last week for the NFC Championship he was there to watch that. He’ll be here this Sunday to watch. It would mean the world to me.”
This adorable baby has a winning smile, no matter the outcome of his dad’s games. “My Right Hand❤️,” Deebo captioned this shot.
