No. 2: Deebo Samuel will have 200 total yards

Does it seem like a lot? Absolutely. But consider how often Deebo Samuel is on the field.

A 200-yard performance by someone with his skill set would go something like this: 60 yards rushing, 60 yards receiving, two kickoff returns of 30 yards each and a 20-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

Now, how far-fetched does it seem?

The simple truth is, if anyone on the field can do it, Samuel can.

Over the past three weeks, he’s eclipsed 100 total yards in every game. In fact, he amassed over 100 yards in the second half alone in Green Bay.

His role continues to expand, and his skill set has no ceiling. The best facts to support the possibility of a 200-yard game for Samuel is that no one has been able to stop him. He’s elusive, he’s electric and he will only continue to get better.
