Can someone ease my mind on C. Samuel?

I will be pissed if Shula and Ron do not let this guy play and make use of him (attempt). 

2nd rounder with how bad our WR corps is, this dude better get a lot of burn and opportunity.

Well....we should run a great Reverse.

Percy Harvin for sure.  Just get the ball in the guys hands.

I know its a small body of work, but I see him as Will Fuller type.

Decent comp. 

Was/Is Harvin worth a 2nd round pick?

Havent followed him, so not sure if he lived up to the hype/billing. 

Harvin healthy and without headaches? Absolutely.

As far as I can tell his floor is Ginn. Who was like 6th overall. I don't think Ginn was faster than 4.31 and Ginns speed wasn't twitchy, just had long speed.

I've watched every OSU game the past 2 years. (Wife is a fan, I didn't do it by choice).

I can tell you, 2 years ago I watched Samuel take a handoff to the house when it should've been a tackle for loss. And I turned to my then girlfriend (now wife) and said "Ezekial who? They need to get that kid the ball more."

And then we watched in frustration as OSU failed to get Samuel the ball enough. Every time he touched it, they moved the chains. But then they'd stop giving it to him like morons.

He averaged something like 8 yards per carry. Went over 1k yards receiving and 1k rushing. And barely even toted the rock. They went way too pass heavy and away from plays that simply gave him the ball.

Never seemed to me that he wasn't a good receiving option, at least not in the flow of the games. Barrett consistently missed him or under/over threw him because, well, Barrett.

I think with proper coaching he definitely can grow into a good WR. He's got RB down and honestly, these guys (McSamuel) might become options 1A and 1B on offense.

Harvin is a decent comp, although I think Harvin often made mistakes and put his team in worse situations because he had no reservation about trying to take it yard every single time he touched it. And that's not always what you need from a game manager standpoint. Samuel seems intelligent, shifty, explosive, and really it got to a point where whenever OSU struggled to move the ball, we would be screaming to get it to Samuel and when they did, the ball moved down the field.

If it helps at all, he was mayock's #4 WR in the draft ahead of zay jones

Theres a 50 minute career highlight video on YouTube that should alleviate your bitch-assedness

this kid was a beast in college,he would have had the fastest 40 i believe if it wasnt for john ross

[Panthers8969]

I agree with OP, could've traded down and still taken him 10 picks later. Same with McAffrey too. unfortunate.

How has no one mentioned Randall Cobb as a Samuel comp?
