Drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2003, Nnamdi Asoumgha broke out in 2007 with an eight-Interception year, and in the three years after, he was one of the best shutdown Cornerbacks in the National Football League, earning First Team All-Pros in 2008 and 2010. Following 2010, Asomugha was a highly recruited Free Agent and he joined the Phiadelphia Eagles, who thought he was the signing to get them to the promised land. He wasn't, as his play dramatically fell off, and he was out of the game three years later, but when your play at Cornerback was compared to Darrelle Revis you were something special.
319. Nnamdi Asomugha
