Former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels hasn’t played in the NFL since 2021, but his football journey isn’t over. Samuels is now a member of the Ottawa Redblacks in the Canadian Football League, and in their first preseason tilt against the Montreal Alouettes, Samuels broke off an explosive touchdown run. The official CFL account posted a video of Samuels’ touchdown.
