45 of the Absolute Best Sam Winchester Moments From Supernatural

Sam is the sensible, empathetic, and intelligent (not to mention smokin' hot) brother on Supernatural, but he hasn't been getting near enough attention or praise. Cas and Dean have taken the limelight in the beginning of the most recent season with their bromance, which we can't get enough of. On top of that, we've been all heart-eyes over the new nephilim on the block. While I can't blame anyone, not a lot of room has been left for Sam (played by Jared Padalecki).

Continue scrolling for a long-overdue Sam Winchester appreciation post — and fingers crossed he continues to bless us with his perfect bod and smile throughout future seasons.
