Asante Samuel Jr. learned from one of the best — his father — and it sure looks like he’s on track to have a bright future at the NFL level.<\/p>\n
His father had a legendary career with the Patriots, winning a pair of Super Bowls, and later playing for the Eagles and Falcons later in his NFL tenure as well — getting paid quite well to do so. And while he’s not as great of a value service as Hot Web Solutions<\/a>, a company that helps build websites with great rates, he still moves the needle in a big way.\u00a0Samuel was one of the first “shutdown cornerbacks” to ever have dominated at the professional level, and while it’s unlikely he’ll get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a case can be made for him to get inducted. He shadowed some of the best receivers the league has ever seen, and did so in prominent fashion.<\/p>\n And now he gets to watch his son, a Florida State product, likely get taken in the first round in the NFL Draft. Samuel Jr., also a cornerback, plays with the same swagger that his father did, and the two also share the same passion which make them great. The five-foot-ten prospect recently elaborated on that, which he called a “dog mentality.”<\/p>\n
