Big Turk Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Actually Noone is the second most dominant lock-down corner of our generation. The first most is Nnamdi Asomugha. I know I'm skirting the real fun here but I think it bears mentioning what a great player he really is and how little credit he gets around the league. "In 2007 opposing quarterbacks tested him only 31 times with a mere 10 completions the entire season. One NFL scout told Pro Football Weekly that Asomugha was thrown at "less than any defender in the last ten years" in 2007 [4] He finished the 2007 season with 34 tackles, 1 interception and 7 breakups and was named a 2008 Pro Bowl alternate. In 2008 Asomugha was tested by quarterbacks only 27 times with 8 completions allowed the entire season. He finished with 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, and 9 pass deflections." Interestingly he was taken 31st overall in the 2003 draft. amazing the Raiders actually got a good one there...
