2018: Tennessee, Clemson, Missouri, Coastal Carolina

Very versatile player that can be moved all over the field. Very explosive in space and poses a large threat to the defense. Is dangerous vertically but still shows excellent lateral agility. Has deep top end speed that can stretch the field for the offense and allow openings to form in the defense. Shows good instincts and has a good work ethic. Has a good release that allows for separation from his man to make a play.

Has a lengthy injury history. Does not show much motivation in plays where his role is to block. Doesn't hold the man he is supposed to be blocking very long. Broken right fibula in 2017 is an injury to keep an eye on. Also has battled injuries with ankles and hamstrings throughout college career.

Deebo is a very special talent and is known as probably the most versatile pass catcher in the class. Injuries have been an issue in the past, however when he is healthy, he shows why he is a household name. Coming back from the broken fibula last season, Samuel had the best season of his career this year. He had the second most receiving touchdowns in the SEC and has been #1 in kick return touchdowns for three straight seasons. Deebo will be able to contribute right away to whatever team drafts him. His versatility will be a huge bonus and will really help to get some offensive creativity started.
