NFL league executives, coaches and scouts ranked Deebo Samuel among the honorable mentions while coming up with a top-10 list of wide receivers around football, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

His versatility—Samuel caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns, but also made an impact between the tackles, rushing for 225 yards and another score—was highlighted as one of the reasons for his inclusion.

"Durability has been a bit of a concern, but he's the ultimate weapon," an AFC executive told Fowler.

On most teams, Samuel would likely be the center of the offense.
