RB/WR Curtis Samuel (Washington Commanders)

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...jeremiahs-top-50-prospects-for-2017-nfl-draft

RANK 41
Curtis Samuel - RB, Ohio State

Samuel splits his time pretty equally between lining up at running back and in the slot. As a runner, he excels on outside runs where he can incorporate his speed and burst to turn the corner and run away from defenders or make them miss. He doesn't have much power as an inside runner but he can get skinny and burst through the hole. He lacks the size and strength to carry a heavy load at the next level. He is special as a slot receiver. He is sudden, efficient and instinctive. He can explode by defenders on vertical routes and he's dynamic after the catch. Overall, I think Samuel could emerge as an elite playmaker at the next level. He should primarily play in the slot but he's capable of handling 8-10 carries per game as well.

Still hard to believe the coaching staff only really found a way to use this guy for 1 season, and even in that season he was probably underused
His first two season, Samuel played behind Zeke Elliot, Michael Thomas, Devin Smith, Jalin Marshall, and Braxton Miller. It's hard to believe he got any touches at all.
