Fans got a glimpse of Samuel's skill set during mandatory minicamp, when the Commanders posted a video of him juking and running past defenders on his way to a touchdown on social media. Quinn also mentioned another play fans didn't get to see that reminded him of Samuel's speed.
"I can remember one time he just ran by somebody down the field on a deep ball and I was like, 'Yeah, I forgot about that,'" Quinn said with a laugh. "So...it didn't surprise me, but it was maybe [that] I missed talking about it to that space because I was easily reminded, he's one of the fastest players on the team."
Quinn is familiar with how challenging Samuel can be as an opponent. In the two games Quinn had to prepare for the wideout as the Cowboys' defensive coordinator, Samuel had a combined 171 yards on 16 touches. Needless to say, he's excited to have that talent on his roster and see what offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury can do with it.
"He's got a natural feel for things as he's figuring this offense out, but [I] couldn't be more thrilled having seen it up close and personal for those years to actually get to work with him," Kingsbury said.
