Just one season with a pocket passer like Bridgewater, was enough for him to show what he's truly capable of.
I think it has more to do with Brady's scheme than the QB's. Samuel is mainly a body catcher. You see him running a lot of crossing routes, hooks, curls, etc. this past year where he can sit down in a zone, face the QB and catch it with his body instead of having to snatch it out of the air with his hands. They used him a lot of the backfield, too.
He has value, but he's a guy that you scheme touches for and use his ability to line up in the backfield to get the defense in bad personnel groups rather than an X or Z WR like we need.
