Big-bodied edge defender with proven NFL disruptor traits
Cam Sample is a 6'3", 272-pound defensive end whose value comes from power, length, and dependable snap-to-snap effort, and in 2025 he played 14 games with 17 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble for Cincinnati before moving to the 49ers. His differentiator is functional versatility as a sturdy edge setter who can collapse pockets without needing ideal explosiveness, but his recent Achilles tear is the key question for any team evaluating him as a fit. If you want a physical, experienced rotational DE who brings toughness and inside-out flexibility, he’s worth a look.[1][4][6][7]
