"Thirty-one is just a number," he said of his age. "You watch me on the field. Do I look 31? First day I got here, the coaches watched me on the field and said, 'Damn, you're as quick as [bleep].' So age isn't a factor with me. I'm still as fast and as explosive as I was when I was younger. That won't change for a couple of years." Samuel's three picks last season were his fewest since '05, his third year in the league. He blamed it on fewer opportunities, suggesting not as many balls were thrown at him. But according to profootballfocus.com, Samuel was targeted 61 times last season, which was just eight fewer times than he was targeted in '09, when he had nine interceptions.
