Deebo Samuel Sr. is revitalized this offseason with the Washington Commanders after being overlooked by the San Francisco 49ers. His hard work in conditioning has resulted in a sharp appearance, indicating a readiness to showcase his talents. The acquisition of Samuel included the Commanders sending a fifth-round pick and guaranteeing part of his 2025 salary, boosting his confidence. Analysts are noting his explosive performance in training camp, and he is crucial for the team, especially with Terry McLaurin's contract situation affecting availability.
Deebo Samuel has looked fast and explosive, even though his best attributes -- his elusiveness and toughness with the ball in his hands -- can't really be replicated in practices. Though Samuel is mostly known for being a chess piece of sorts, fellow wide receiver Noah Brown said early in camp he was impressed by Samuel's route running, and "people will see that this year." Samuel has acknowledged it's a big year for him but has tried to remain focused on the day-to-day.
Confidence is key, and this represented a big boost in that regard for the South Carolina product when morale may have been low. Zachary Pereles from CBS Sports is noticing the change in Samuel. The respected analyst highlighted how explosive the wideout is looking at training camp.
