How close is Deebo Samuel in his recovery? 'About 85-90 percent' | The State

ESPN's Tom Luginbill laid the question directly to South Carolina football star Deebo Samuel.

Where is he at in the recovery process from the broken bone that ended his 2017 season, and altered both his Gamecocks career and the course of last year's team?

"I'd say about 85-90 percent," Samuel said.

Samuel dropped that detail as part of the SEC Network's longer look at his recovery and comeback from the injury that ended what was shaping up to be an All-American-type season. In the video, Samuel is seen doing work in a pool, cutting in drills and catching passes during the part of spring practice where he was healthy.
