Deebo Samuel is known to perform multiple roles. But, now, a couple of former NFL stars are joking that the new Washington Commanders' star may also possess multiple rolls.
The Commanders made early noise this offseason when they traded for Samuel, whose skills carrying and catching the football will provide quarterback Jayden Daniels with another weapon. But as Deebo began minicamp in advance of next month's training camp, some are poking fun at some extra weight he may be carrying.
Brandon Graham helped the Philadelphia Eagles win a pair of Super Bowls as a pass-rusher. Responding to Deebo question on social media Graham was the first to disrespect the new Commanders' acquisition.
“I wouldn’t worry about him, he gotta be in shape first," Graham said. "He don’t look like he in shape right now.”
There were rumors about Samuel's physical conditioning last season in San Francisco, which some say was the reason the Niners were ready to trade him. Deebo's asset is his combination of size, speed and agility. At 6-foot and 215 pounds, he's big enough to run over linebackers and outrun cornerbacks.
But if he's not in shape ...
Former Niners, Eagles and Dallas Cowboys' receiver Terrell Owens jumped on Deebo dogpile.
Said T.O., "He's about two chicken nuggets from tipping the scale.”
The Commanders commence training camp July 18 in Ashburn, Virginia.
