29 years is Samuel in the prime of his career. His store has strengthened fan of superiors who are already cycling high after a dreamy 2024 season that saw them reach the NFC Championship game. In their eyes, Samuel is one of the tasks they need to clear that checkpoint on their way to the Super Bowl appearance.
Of course, there are questions about whether Samuel can ever recover what once made him 1,405 meters in San Francisco. These answers will not be realized immediately, but if he was looking for ideal conditions, he found it in Washington, where the rising star Jayden Daniels goes into his second NFL season after winning the newcomer of the year in the transformative 2024 campaign.
This fact – in addition to the presence of another former chief of 49ers in the head office – has helped Kittle to feel better about watching the former team member head east.
“I am pleased that he went to Washington because Adam Peters is there, our old assistant GM, and he is the man,” Knyton added. “And then they are also pretty good at football.”
A week ago, Daniels was asked about Samuel and smiled when he sent his vision of throwing Samuel a short ship and watching the Ole Miss product take it 80 meters for contact. In the world of dreams, these plays often happen.
Washington will hope to make them a reality in 2025. And Knylle will probably fit Daniel’s smile as he looks at the highlight.
