Adam Peters had faith in Deebo Samuel Sr. when almost everyone else had written him off. The Washington Commanders have been rewarded with a renaissance start to the 2025 season from the wide receiver.
Samuel heard all the criticism. Accusations of not being locked in and poor conditioning were rife during his final season with the San Francisco 49ers. The versatile offensive weapon showed up in Washington with renewed focus, determined to turn the tide and silence his doubters.
This is precisely what the Commanders had in mind when they sent a fifth-round pick to the Niners.
