Man, for only being 17, Demetris Samuel Jr. has really impressed me . You can just tell he belongs out there even though he’s still so young. He’s got that length and athleticism to stay with receivers, and he doesn’t shy away from pressing or jumping routes. What I really like is the confidence he plays with — he doesn’t look scared of the moment at all. Even when teams test him, he battles back and doesn’t hang his head. The coaches clearly trust him too, because they’ve had him on the field a lot, not just at corner but also on special teams and even a few snaps on offense. For a freshman, that’s big.

If I’m looking at him like a scouting report, his biggest strengths are his instincts, physicality, and ability to play the ball in the air. He’s hard to beat deep with that speed and length, and he closes fast on shorter routes too. Of course, he’s still got stuff to clean up — his technique in off coverage and staying disciplined with his eyes are things he’ll get better at with experience. But he’s only 17, so the upside is crazy. Give him time to get stronger and sharpen his skills, and he could honestly turn into a lockdown corner for Cuse.
