For 11 seasons, former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel made a living as an opportunistic corner who baited opposing quarterbacks into turnovers. Was his overall style a little unorthodox? An argument can be made for that, but the respect level for Samuel was widespread and genuine, including during his time as an Atlanta Falcon.
Now Samuel will soon watch his son roam the same fields and harass opposing receivers. Former Florida State corner Asante Samuel Jr. is one of the top cornerbacks in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft, and the Atlanta Falcons have shown considerable interest in his services.
