02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The West Coast system that prioritizes precise route running, timing, and yards after catch, frequently using screens and quick passes to wide receivers.

Best role

Sampson could contribute as a rotational receiver targeting WR3/4 by year two, with potential to develop into a reliable Z-receiver who can win contested catches.

Wrong fit

A run-heavy, play-action based offense that infrequently targets outside receivers or relies heavily on 'go up and get it' jump balls will limit his production.

While he possesses good size and speed, his raw route running and occasional focus drops suggest he requires development within a pass-happy system that can maximize his athletic traits.
