Deebo Samuel is in Mobile to turn heads, and who else to watch for the next couple days

A three-year standout at South Carolina, Samuel is everything the modern NFL desires. Samuel is versatile, fast, and sports a much larger catch radius than his frame would suggest. Though a decaying quarterback situation at South Carolina hindered Samuel’s opportunity to put up mind-boggling numbers, the skill set speaks for itself.

The challenge for Samuel heading into the week, however, was the simplicity of Senior Bowl practices. In team sessions, the schemes on both sides of the ball are watered down. Defenses can not blitz and may only run base defensive shells, such as Cover 2 from a two-high safety look.
