Might work good in a 3-4. It will be fun to see for sure.

Samuel will be a great linebacker imo. Size, speed, and loves contact!!

Agreed 95. He just ran way to upright and couldn't hold onto the ball to be a good running back. |

Read a good take on this subject on another blog and can't find where I read it to post the link. Anyway, he said despite dissapointment with this class, one good bit of recruiting news was that we added another 5 star recruit at linebacker by switching Samuel. Good point.

I found a video of him on rivals and the caption says that he "shines as RB and LB."
Looks pretty good in the clips so I guess that blows my criticism out of the water. |

If I remember correctly, he was projected to be a better LB than RB.
