Samuel didn’t stop there, he also shared two random stories about wide receiver Reche Caldwell in 2006 and what he used to do in the locker room.

Since his brief Patriots tenure, Caldwell has been out of the NFL battling legal problems.
Caldwell served time in prison and is in legal trouble once again for his involvement in defrauding a health care program for retired players.
It was an odd selection of stories from Samuel, but you just never know what you’ll learn over social media.
