Was going to say what everyone else has, Nate: exceptional players he may struggle at times, but Sample has stonewalled or not allowed pressures on ends quite a bit.

He's prone to bullrushing, but he still holds his ground and doesn't allow pressures, like in the Ceej TD against Bmore (he's on rollerskates, but remains engaged so Burrow can move up in the pocket and the DE just runs by him):
