Jaylen Samuels got a respite from practice on Tuesday. After his performance in the opener, the N.C. State senior had earned it.
Samuels was everywhere in the Wolfpack’s 35-28 loss to South Carolina last Saturday. The receiver/running back/tight end caught 15 passes (for 85 yards), which equaled a school record, and scored a touchdown. Despite a hamstring injury, he was on the field more, too, which was an offseason priority.
The rest of the team was in pads on Tuesday but Samuels went through the practice in shorts and a t-shirt. He tweaked his left hamstring in the second half of Saturday’s loss.
