They finished with a 12-5 record and made the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1991 season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons was the play of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the then-reigning Heisman Trophy winner from LSU, who threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns to just nine interceptions while completing 69 percent of his passes.<\/p>\n<p>But he wasn&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p>Wideout Terry McLaurin caught 1,096 of those yards and 13 of those touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>And once McLaurin&#8217;s contract dispute gets settled (and it will), D.C. will have trade get Deebo Samuel on the other side to help out.<\/p>\n<p>And the team expects more than just the NFC Championship Game in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Daniels has been impressed with Samuel. &#8230; and yes, his views fly in the face of accusations of Deebo being &#8220;fat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOffseason was good, but now you just see what he\u2019s proven year in and year out,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AryePulliNFL\/status\/1936504130031304945\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Daniels said, via Arye Pulli of The Sports Place;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Daniels said, via Arye Pulli of The Sports Place<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m excited to throw him a screen and hopefully on the stat sheet it says a touchdown for 80 yards and I didn\u2019t have to do any of the work. I\u2019m excited. He\u2019s a great person. Great fit in the locker room right away. Hopefully we\u2019re gonna see a lot of touchdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Samuel hasn&#8217;t been the same player since his magnificent 2021 campaign, where he logged 1,405 yards and six touchdowns en route to his only Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honor.<\/p>\n<p>Has conditioning been a part of his decline? Maybe. But check out this photo going viral that shows that Deebo &#8211; who generally plays at about 6-0 and 215 pounds &#8211; might be &#8220;bigger&#8221; in a good way, too.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The Commanders and Daniels are banking on a Deebo change of address to help him find those large numbers again. &#8230; and by &#8220;large numbers,&#8221; we&#8217;re not talking about pounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/deebo-fat-evaluation-making-rounds-142257116.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: &#039;Deebo Is Fat&#039; Evaluation Making The Rounds on Commanders Trade Get Samuel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: &#8216;Deebo Is Fat&#8217; Evaluation Making The Rounds on Commanders Trade Get Samuel<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/commanders-offseason-failure-worry-washington-062700935.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Commanders&#039; Offseason Failure A Worry For Washington\u2019s New Vibe;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Commanders&#8217; Offseason Failure A Worry For Washington\u2019s New Vibe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\/washington-commanders\/fat-deebo-samuel-jacked-photo-goes-viral-in-telling-washington-commanders-truth\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Athlon Sports;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Athlon Sports<\/a> on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;Fat&#8217; Deebo &#8216;Jacked&#8217; Photo Goes Viral In Telling Commanders&#8217; Truth originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
