Jaylen Samuels Becoming a Significant Part of Offense Early In Camp
5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels is making a name for himself as a weapon for this upcoming season. The Steelers have been careful with James Conner to avoid injury, but Samuel has made a name for himself with the coaches. Per Mark Kaboly, he's been OC Randy Fichtner's "Christmas toy that he didn’t learn to play with until the following year." If you're a fan of CFB, Jaylen Samuels was one of the most versatile players in the country. Listed as a TE to start his career collegiate career, he ended up splitting time between RB, FB, TE, and even split out wide occasionally. He's the perfect type of player for this Steelers system and he will be on the field a ton, even with a healthy James Conner. Drawing comparisons to Le'Veon Bell may be ambitious, but he's certainly a do-it-all type that can make an immediate fantasy impact.
