Samuel found success when carrying the ball in the regular season. He had 159 yards, leading all wide receivers in the NFL. However, he had just 14 rushes in the 15 games he played.
Samuel being utilized in the run game has become more prevalent in the playoffs. He had 43 yards in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. With an additional six yards against the Minnesota Vikings in the first playoff game, Samuel now has more than 100 yards rushing on six carries in the playoffs.
