Terry McLaurin has been a priority for the Commanders this offseason but jfmckessy says Washington's offensive success may hinge on another player. FrontOffice33 | HTTC
For a Washington Commanders team that hopes to contend for an NFC East title this season, getting meaningful contributions fromThere’s been a lot of attention toward the Commanders’ receivers situation in recent months. They drafted Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson near the end of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft back in April.
Washington signed Curtis Samuel to a three-year, $34.5 million deal last offseason with the hope that he’d be a useful contributor from the slot with McLaurin and Adam Humphries on the outside. After all, he had just finished a career year with the Panthers in which he showed off his versatility as both a rusher and a receiver, finishing his 2020 season with 1,051 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns.
Samuel injured his groin during OTAs last offseason, leading to surgery which held him back from participating in mandatory minicamp and most of training camp. During training camp, he tweaked it again and missed the first three weeks of the season. His stint on the active roster in his return lasted only two weeks before suffering another setback in Week 5 and missing six more weeks.
The sixth-year receiver clearly has plenty of talent as both a receiver and rusher, making his versatility one of the Commanders’ greatest assets going into this season. The team already has running backs Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and rookie Brian Robinson Jr., but they’ll also have the chance to get Samuel involved occasionally to shake things up.
