Putting this hybrid receiver-running back into offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s up-tempo scheme with Daniels is scary. Washington’s 28.5 points per game last season ranked fifth despite limited playmaking from the skill positions beyond All-Pro receiver Terry McLaurin.
Over the past four seasons, Samuel ranks 11th with 63 scrimmage plays of 20 or more yards and is tied for third with 11 plays of 50-plus yards. The healthy version upgrades a receiver room that had only McLaurin and 2024 third-round pick Luke McCaffrey under contract.
“Good addition,” one general manager texted. “(Deebo) still has something in the tank, and Kliff will use him right.
