It took Curtis Samuel longer to become a playmaker than Carolina might have envisioned when the Panthers used the 40th overall pick on him in the 2017 draft, but his 1,000-scrimmage-yard output in 2020 was enough to land him a big contract from the Washington Football Team. Samuel will be reunited with head coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Scott Turner, and he should have less competition for targets than he did in Carolina.
