Jaylen Samuels only has one offseason minicamp on his professional résumé at this point, but that’s all he’s needed to earn notice from both Steelers teammates and head coach Mike Tomlin.
“He’s made two or three combat catches in the end zone, back-shoulder fades and jump-balls where you’re like, ‘this kid’s got something,’ receiver stuff, which is huge. That gives him an opportunity. He’s just so stoic, too. He’ll catch the ball and just go back like it’s work as usual. That’s what you have to appreciate about a young guy like that.”
JaySam has scored roughly 8 million touchdowns in his life, so he needs no lectures about acting like he’s been there before.
