"Adam Peters gave up only a fifth-round pick for the longtime San Francisco 49ers standout, whom he helped scout and draft. The national media clowned the acquisition, calling Samuel an out-of-shape prima donna whose best days were in the rearview mirror. Five games into the campaign, the move looks like an absolute steal for the Commanders. Commanders are getting exactly what they hoped from Deebo Samuel Sr."
"He had his best game yet in Week 5 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Samuel caught eight passes for 96 receiving yards in the win over the Chargers, and the last one was the best of all. With the Commanders holding a comfortable lead late in the fourth quarter and driving deep in opposing territory, Dan Quinn wasn't content to play it safe."
Adam Peters traded a fifth-round pick to acquire Deebo Samuel Sr. from the San Francisco 49ers. National media mocked the move, suggesting Samuel was out of shape and past his prime. Five games into the season, Samuel has produced at a high level and legitimized the low-cost acquisition. He totaled 96 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 and recorded eight catches for 96 receiving yards in Week 5, including a late fourth-quarter touchdown. With Terry McLaurin sidelined by injury, Samuel has assumed a larger role and delivered consistent explosive plays and scoring threats.
