Jaylen Samuels can pretty much do it all. Carry the ball out of the backfield? That’s what he was drafted for. Move to the slot and catch? Not a problem. Line up at tight end, fullback, even work the Wildcat? We’ve seen it before.
But pass protection? That, for now, might be his kryptonite.
Interviewed on Steelers Nation Radio Tuesday afternoon, Samuels was asked about his pass protection background and the rookie admitted he knows he has a lot of ground to make up.
“In college, I’m going to be honest, I didn’t get too much protection stuff,” he said.
