George Kittle: Deebo Samuel wanted a fresh start, so I'm happy he got one
George Kittle and Deebo Samuel shared space in the 49ers offense for the last six seasons and the partnership was a successful one for most of that run, but there won't be a seventh year together. Samuel was traded to the Commanders earlier this offseason while Kittle signed an extension that sets him up to be at tight end for the 49ers through the 2029 season. During an appearance on Bussin' With the Boys, Kittle said that he is going to miss Samuel but also knows that the wide receiver was looking to play out the rest of his career somewhere else. 'I'm happy for him that he went to Washington,' Kittle said, via 'Guys need a fresh start sometimes, and he wanted a fresh start, and so, I'm very happy for him. I'm sad that I don't have him on my team anymore because I just loved having him around the locker room and stuff like that. But I'm happy for him.' With Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from a torn ACL, the 49ers will likely look Kittle's way a lot in the early part of the season as they learn which receivers are worthy of stepping into the open spots in the lineup.

In a completely unprovoked assault, Miles followed Samuel through the barriers, grabbed him and ripped his top. The 23-year-old then knocked the AI engineer to the floor with one punch to the head. He cowardly ran from the scene, leaving Samuel collapsed on the stairs, before emergency services arrived. Paramedics performed CPR and rushed the young man to hospital, where he was treated for a critical brain injury. He died two days later, surrounded by his family. British Transport Police officers located Miles by tracking his Oyster card and detained him at a shop near the station a day after the attack. Cops said Miles had given no thought to Samuel after the beating, "continuing on with his evening" as if nothing had happened. Miles, of East Street, Southwark, showed "no remorse" when he appeared at Inner London Crown Court. He denied but was convicted of manslaughter and Judge Benedict Kelleher sentenced him to eight years behind bars. Miles will also be subject to an extended licence period of five years. But the killer will be eligible for parole in less than five and a half years. In a heartbreaking tribute, the victim's family said: "Sam was a very much-loved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend. "We are devastated his life here has ended. He was a qualified physiotherapist, AI engineer and a volunteer with several charities. "His family and friends will remember him as gentle and kind, quick-witted and funny, with deep faith and an unendingly giving spirit." Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Paul Attwell added: "Though nothing can bring Samuel back, I hope today's sentencing allows his family some small measure of comfort as they continue to grieve for him. "Samuel's family described him as gentle and kind, and he will be sorely missed by all those who love him. "We reiterate our requests to give the family privacy at such a difficult time. "It only took one punch from Miles to end Samuel's life and forever change the lives of those around him. "He showed no remorse for his action, leaving Samuel at the station and continuing on with his evening. "The quick-time and thorough investigation by the teams involved meant Miles was identified and apprehended quickly. "There is zero tolerance for violence on the railway and I'd like to thank my team for their hard work and determination to secure justice for Samuel's family."

Inside Look: Men's Health Lab 2025
ON JUNE 12, 2025—timed to National Men's Health Week—the editors of Men's Health hosted the inaugural Men's Health Lab, an immersive symposium in collaboration with Esquire and Popular Mechanics. The event was held to educate men so they can take charge of their physical, mental, and emotional health. Themed 'Body, Mind, Life: The Next Frontier of Men's Health,' the event featured panel discussions on topics including cardiovascular health, cancer screening and treatment, longevity, diabetes detection and management, mental health, food and nutrition, travel, holistic health, and the mind-body connection. Read on for recaps and videos of each panel. Richard Dorment, editorial director of Men's Health and Women's Health, kicked off the day by telling the audience how 'there's still a lot to learn about men's bodies and minds: the role of hormones and metabolism in physical and mental strength, the new and emerging diagnostic tools we can use to prevent cardiac and cancer episodes, and how each of us can preserve our vitality, protect our minds, and live longer, healthier, happier lives.' He noted that this day full of discussions with medical experts from NYU Langone Health, as well as celebrities and athletes, was a start to redefine strength in men's health and take charge of our journeys. Watch Dorment chat with Andrew Rubin, senior vice president, clinical affairs and ambulatory care at NYU Langone, about the healthcare system's commitment to treating the whole man and making it easier for their patients to prevent illness. The pair shared a sneak peak of a new NYU Langone cooking show for wellness, see more here. In this conversation moderated by Men's Health fitness director, Ebenezer Samuel, NHL star Jacob Trouba, actor and former NFL player Terry Crews, and Laith M. Jazrawi, MD, chief of the sports-medicine division at NYU Langone, spoke about how strength isn't just physical but mental as well. Both Trouba and Crews discussed that their creative pursuits—painting and drawing, respectively—have helped keep them centered and provided them confidence so that they could excel in their competitive fields. 'This helps you build grit—that characteristic that is going to help you succeed,' said Dr. Jazrawi. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin opened up about heart health, his experience with commotio cordis, and his long road of recovery back to the NFL playing field, in a pre-recorded conversation with Samuel. As a follow-up at the event, NYU Langone cardiac surgeon and system director of aortic surgery Mark D. Peterson, MD, PhD, spoke to Samuel about how more men are having heart events of late. 'Many times it is structural, which may not have symptoms but increases the risk of events,' said Dr. Peterson. He urged the audience to think about heart health earlier, so doctors can discover and prevent cardiovascular issues. In this session sponsored by the Bermuda Tourism Authority and moderated by Esquire's senior digital director, Madison Vain, the power of getting outside and going to places that are different and unknown was discussed. 'In nature, you can be mindful and be present. This is powerful, as it helps your mind rewire,' said Thea Gallagher, PsyD, a psychologist and clinical associate professor of psychiatry at NYU Langone. Jamari Douglas, vice president, marketing, PR & communications for the Bermuda Tourism Authority, reminded the audience that travel can also help you reset and that breaks, such as vacations, can help you be a better version of yourself. 'Excitement to do things, to do physical things, and have new experiences can go a long way,' added Gideon Akande, a fitness consultant, content creator, and coach. Actor and Gatlan Health co-founder Josh Duhamel discussed with Dorment advances in modern health—including testosterone replacement therapy [TRT]—and how he and lots of other men are really starting to embrace them. Speaking about how TRT benefits the way he shows up in all facets of his life, Duhamel said: 'I think that there is an overall wellness: just having that energy, that desire to go out and achieve. Be a better dad, be a better brother, be a better friend, be a better business owner. You don't taper off like you would normally—and I think that that's one of the benefits of [TRT], mentally and physically.' NBA Hall of Fame basketball star Dwyane Wade opened up about his cancer journey—including why he's choosing to speak out about his experience—in a pre-recorded conversation with Dorment. Then William C. Huang, MD, a urologic oncologist and co-director of the Robotic Surgery Center at NYU Langone, talked about the unique way men look at disease and wellness. 'They have a lack of awareness, and they don't want to know,' he said. In this panel sponsored by Beyond Meat, Ryan D'Agostino, editorial director of projects at Hearst Magazines, spoke to Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat; Holly F. Lofton, MD, director of the Medical Weight Management Program at NYU Langone; and Jonathan Waxman, chef and owner of Barbuto, Bar Tizio, and Jams, about how the word diet means different things to different people (for better and for worse), and how we all should be eating closer to the sun. Grammy- and Golden Globe-nominated artist and co-founder of Beyond Type 1 Nick Jonas spoke with Esquire editor-in-chief Michael Sebastian about his journey with type 1 diabetes. He recounted his path from being diagnosed with the autoimmune condition at age 13, during the early days of touring with his brothers; to how his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, is helping Beyond Type 1—the foundation he started to help the newly diagnosed get support—grow globally. 'We're expanding to a broader worldview and focusing on places where they're underserved and there's not the access to these life-preserving medicines and tools. My wife joined our board and has really helped us build a plan for India and some other global-outreach programs that we have, which I'm very excited about,' he said.

Deebo Samuel is the X-factor Jayden Daniels needs in 2025 Commanders offense
Deebo Samuel Commanders offense (Image via AP) The Washington Commanders are reloading with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels at the center of their offensive rebuild — but it's Deebo Samuel who may quietly become the key. With one of the league's worst yards-after-catch (YAC) metrics in 2024, Washington needed a dynamic playmaker in space. Samuel's arrival offers that and more, providing the spark they lacked last season. Now, expectations are soaring for a breakout 2025 tandem. Deebo's role solves Washington's YAC struggles While the Commanders ranked top five in most offensive categories last year, they were shockingly low in one key area — 21st in YAC per reception. NFL analyst Mina Kimes highlighted this flaw and pointed straight to Samuel as the solution. 'The Commanders offense was top five in just about every metric last year but one where they were not was yards after the catch per reception,' she said. Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy confidence levels 🧐 | NFL Live She followed with a now-viral phrase: 'By God, that's Deebo Samuel's music. That's exactly what he's been brought into this offense to do.' Kimes believes Samuel's unique ability to generate big gains on short throws is exactly what this team lacked. 'You can see him certainly taking advantage of that to get them yards after the catch,' she added. Jayden Daniels already sees explosive potential Jayden Daniels is fully on board with the vision — and his excitement is crystal clear. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Direct Shopping From Adidas Franchise Store, Up To 50% Off Original Adidas Shop Now Undo When asked about Samuel, the rookie QB didn't hesitate: 'An 80-yard touchdown on a screen — that's what I see.' Daniels' quick-passing game aligns perfectly with Deebo's YAC-heavy style. The chemistry between them is already generating buzz across the league. Kimes also emphasized this synergy: 'I think he brings an element to this offense that didn't exist last year.' With Terry McLaurin stretching the field and Jahan Dotson creating separation underneath, Samuel adds the crucial third piece — a bulldozing, open-field playmaker. The offensive balance could be unlike anything Washington has had in years. Also read: Russell Wilson's wife Ciara stuns in fiery dance collab with DK Metcalf's fiancée Normani In 2021, Deebo Samuel exploded for 1,405 receiving yards, 6 touchdowns, and 365 rushing yards — a historic dual-threat season. Although his production fell to 670 yards in 2024, Washington is banking on a fresh start. Under Kliff Kingsbury's motion-heavy system, Deebo may finally return to elite form. If so, this Commanders offense could become one of the most dangerous in the NFL. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
