Hall of Famer Terrell Owens calls Commanders WR Deebo Samuel 'fat'
Terrell Owens says that #Commanders WR Deebo Samuel is fat'He about two chicken nuggets from tipping the scale' 🤦♂️(via:@JankyRondo)
Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens was always known for his outspoken personality. Never afraid to call out anyone, including his own quarterback, Owens often made as many headlines for his comments as he did his outstanding play on the field.
Owens is at it again, this time he targeted Washington Commanders wide receiver Terrell Owens. Courtesy of Commanders' fan @JankyRondo on X, here's Owens on video calling Samuel "fat."
Owens is smiling and laughing throughout the exchange, so it's difficult to tell if he's being serious or taking playful jabs at Samuel. "I love Deebo," Owens also said in the video.
However, Samuel is unlikely to appreciate Owens saying he was "about two chicken nuggets from tipping the scales."
Washington acquired Samuel in a March trade with the 49ers. The Commanders sent a fifth-round pick to San Francisco and reworked the final year on Samuel's existing contract. Earlier this month, a video of Samuel running a route during Washington's OTAs made the rounds on social media. Because Samuel was running the route at half speed — it was only one play — people made comments about Samuel's speed and his physical shape.
Former 49ers teammate George Kittle shut down all of the nonsense.
The Commanders are happy with Samuel. Coaches, teammates and GM Adam Peters have praised Samuel since his arrival and his participation in all of Washington's offseason activities.
As if Samuel didn't have enough to play for in 2025, you can bet Owens' remarks will serve as more motivation for the former Pro Bowl receiver.
