Deebo Samuel-WR-South Carolina

Strap in. It's going to be a long year.

The guy plays rough whether he's WR or RB. That's simply his way. He's not exactly avoiding collision like Jerry Rice out there. It leads to injuries no matter how he gets the ball, whether in the backfield or 20 yards down the field.

So, that guy who tends to get hurt a lot, LETS LINE HIM UP AS A RB TOO!!

F'ing brilliant!!!!

He's being paid a ton to get touches and make plays.

You play to win the game.

Keeping Deebo at WR only isn't going to protect him. He will get injured there just as easily because he always tries to run through six guys when tackled and never protects himself. Again, he had ONE rushing attempt yesterday.

Exactly. He was hurt on a reception in the first place. Physicality is a key part of his game and this is a side effect. People need to step in off the ledge.

Give him an extension.

He is always hurt. Not dependable at all.

It still has nothing to do with his injury no matter how far back you want to go

Anytime we start to get some production from him he gets hurt. This is just always going to be an issue for him because without him absorbing contact and trying to break tackles, he is just an average player at best, so he has to play that way. I do feel like we try to force feed him to much though. Instead of letting him try to break tackles in open space we force feed him the ball, and he is taking multiple hits for a few yard gain or even negative yards. Not saying that is what got him injured but it has got to change.

This is his issue. Great game but he has too many injuries.

It's the nature of how he plays.

So what? Best ability is availability.
