The football gods (if there are any out there) don’t make many like Asante Samuel. When people ask whether he’s cocky, brash or confident, Samuel checks off all of the above. In a league where coaches play everything close to the vest and worry about their job like they do every inch of the field, Samuel has no care, recklessly attacking the ball downhill to instill fear into quarterbacks throwing to his left — a side that he prefers simply because that’s “where the ball is coming” from a right-handed quarterback. And run defense? Samuel has never seen a tackle that he likes.
But an interception? Now that’s something that he likes quite a bit.
