I am a Jaylen Samules fan. Would love to watch him play at the next level. One of those under whelming guys that just moves the chains and produces. He seems like a solid guy. He opened some eyes at the Senior Bowl, here’s a couple excerpts from the buzz.
“A do-everything weapon in college, Samuels lined up strictly at running back during practices and out-performed the other backs on the field. As expected, he did his best work during pass-catching drills as none of the linebackers could stick with his route quickness. Samuels and his versatility has him destined for the second day of the draft.”

“What position does he play? We’re not sure, but we think that’s a good thing. And after watching him in practice, it’s clear that Samuels needs to be unleashed in some form as a pass catcher. He has extremely quick feet and moved like a receiver or H-back in the receiving drills, to the point where a creative offensive coordinator really can have fun with him. Call him an "offensive weapon," if you will.
The 5-11, 223-pound Samuels lined up at running back (where he looked surprisingly sudden) and slot receiver, and we could see him used in an offset or hybrid role (some might call him an “F-back”) in the right scheme. He looked to us like a more gifted Jacob Hester or a more thickly built Bilal Powell. Perhaps Samuels isn’t quite the explosive athlete that smaller tight ends such as Dorin Dickerson, Jordan Reed or Dustin Keller were coming out, but there’s a role for him.
Samuels was first-Team All-ACC for a reason. He had a career-high 69 receptions for 551 yards and career-high 383 rushing yards with 15 total touchdowns in 2017. Maybe Josh McDaniels could use someone like that with the Indianapolis Colts, who didn’t get enough from their backs in the passing game last season.”

Here’s a link to his highlight video, just check out the awareness of the defenders and football smarts, because it’s a boring highlight reel of a guy making (often wide open) catch after catch:
