I don't think any player has grown on me more than Asante Samuel Jr (Florida State CB 26). Watch him at the top of the screen close quickly on the WR and record the PBU. He had 29 pass deflections in 31 career games for the Seminoles. pic.twitter.com/cV3JIfnRWz

Yessir! He’s grown on me so much during this process. His route recognition is really freaking good. Legit feels like he knows what’s being ran before the receivers come out of the huddle. He had to be grinding the tape with his old man right? Lol

Asante Samuel Jr. is some of the most enjoyable tape that I’ve seen this year. Super scrappy, very little wasted motion in his technique, and has both inside/out experience. The best tackling CB that I’ve seen on tape this year.

Lots of Jason Verrett in his game.

We all know Asante Samuel Jr is more of a zone/side saddle type of CB... Excellent click/close with loose hips. Struggles with bigger WRs in man coverage.

I was pleasantly surprised to see him so aggressive when tackling the flat... He isn’t some finesse DB, he’ll come getcha! pic.twitter.com/QV08BB0tqS

Watching Asante Samuel Jr

Watching him in press. Ideally I'd say you want to hug that line. Don't line up w/the space already created for the receiver. Now if the receiver is off the ball that's one thing. But typically I want line up and check with the ref. Make him back me up. pic.twitter.com/GBohjtjDrb
