He took it hard how he wasn't able to play last season. He's probably doing things differently to prevent it from happening again.

"This year, for me, was real rough," Samuel said. "I dealt with a lot of injuries in my life and through college. I had bumps and bruises last year, but this last season, I never got down mentally like I did after I pulled my hamstring in this last game.
"It took a toll on my body and it made me realize health is the most important thing in this league, just being available."
"There's been a couple of days, just sitting in the room and just thinking about [things]," Samuel said. "I use football as a getaway so when football was taken away you just think about everything you've been through your entire life and it just kind of breaks you down.
"I was going through it bad. I talked to John and Kyle a few times a week just to keep my head on straight."
Damn I felt this tough. Especially with a year like 2020 was, it gets to everyone. He will bounce back strong.
