NFL star Deebo Samuel left fuming after interviewer spills secret live on air in painful exchange

Commanders star Deebo Samuel was left shaking his head in disbelief after NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo accidentally revealed the wide receiver is battling a hand injury – live on air.

Garafolo was left red-faced at the end of an interview with Samuel during a segment on ‘Inside Training Camp Live’ earlier this week.

‘Alright, edit that part out, just strike that… that didn’t happen,’ the reporter said after his on-air blunder drew glares from the wide receiver.

Samuel joined NFL Network to discuss ‘good vibes’ around the Washington Commanders heading into the 2025 season.

But the interview instead ended with a painfully awkward exchange.

‘Usually, I’ll give a handshake when a guy leaves but I tried to shake your hand on the way up,’ Garafolo began.

‘(But) you said “No, no, no. I got a little jam in my finger today…”

Though Samuel remained silent, only staring at the interviewer, Garafolo’s co-host did his best to stop the NFL Network reporter digging himself a deeper hole. ‘Woah, woah,’ he said. ‘Uh oh…’ 

That caught the attention of Garafolo, who responded: ‘Oh was I not supposed to say that? Alright, edit that part out, just strike that. that didn’t happen.’

Samuel shook his head before the host offered his fist for the receiver to bump. ‘I ain’t getting anything now,’ Garafolo said as the network cut away from the interview.

‘This is ridiculous,’ someone could then be heard saying. Samuel was traded to the Commanders back in March after six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
