PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Sampson is an explosive, instinctive back with elite burst, acceleration, and contact balance. His ability to press the line of scrimmage, read blocking lanes in real-time, and create yards after contact make him a high-upside NFL back. He lacks elite size but compensates with agility, vision, and a strong lower body. While his pass protection and receiving game are still developing, his skill set fits well in zone-heavy and spread offenses that can maximize his quickness and big-play ability.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
