My soph son played against both Platter and Sampson in conference play this year - I honed in on those two guys when we played against them. It seemed like the game came quite easy to them and they didn't seem to get frustrated even though they rarely had any plays run their way. They both flowed to the ball very well.
Additionally, prior to the season there was a 7:7 flag football league that my son played against these two guys. It was pretty cool to see Sampson covering my son (my son is a fast RB and Sampson had a difficult time keeping up with him). That said, Sampson never got frustrated by it and embraced the challenge - he was able to use angles to cut the difference in speed. Our QB was absolutely terrible and Sampson ended up picking off two passes, so he has really good ball skills. Sampson's teammates were cocky, arrogant pricks that often turned it into bump/push football instead of flag. One play my son was running a deep crossing route and got in front of Sampson by a couple yards...one of Sampson's teammates was playing deep center and made a play on the ball that was basically initiating contact with my son to send him somewhat violently backward - Sampson quickly braced my son from falling to the ground and ensured he wasn't hurt. He then made a point to scold his teammate (who had begun to celebrate breaking up the play). I became a Cormac Sampson fan at that moment.
