NFL star Terrell Owens recently mocked Deebo Samuel for his current physical appearance. Samuel, who recently joined the Washington Commanders after six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, was seen looking out of shape in training camp footage, sparking criticism from fans and former players alike.
In a video shared by “Coach Yac” on X, Owens can be heard jokingly calling Samuel “fat” and teasing him about being just “two chicken nuggets from tipping the scale.” Despite the playful banter, Owens also expressed his support for Samuel, acknowledging their friendship and the potential for Samuel to bounce back.
Samuel, who had a successful stint with the 49ers and played in two Super Bowls with the team, now finds himself in a new environment with the Commanders. Led by rising star quarterback Jayden Daniels and supported by a strong offensive line and veteran receiver Terry McLaurin, Samuel has the opportunity to make a significant impact if he can address his current fitness concerns before the start of the season.
Former Philadelphia Eagles player Brandon Graham also chimed in on Samuel’s situation, hinting that the NFC East race could come down to a showdown between the Eagles and the Commanders. Graham emphasized the importance of Samuel getting back in shape before making an impact on the field.
With the Commanders and Eagles likely to face off again this season, the rivalry between the two teams is expected to intensify, adding more intrigue to their matchups. As Samuel works on his fitness and adjusts to his new team, fans will be eager to see how he performs in the upcoming season.
Overall, the playful jabs from Owens and Graham highlight the competitive nature of the NFL and the high expectations placed on players to maintain peak physical condition. As Samuel looks to prove his critics wrong and make a positive impact with the Commanders, the upcoming season promises to be an exciting and competitive one for both teams.
