QUOTES BY Nnamdi Asomugha


You become a family when you're on a football team. It's the ultimate team sport, so you have no choice but to feel like family, and that never leaves you.

I hate the term black sheep, but I just felt like I wasn't keeping up. It was a subtle pressure I put on myself.

I think any time you get a boost of confidence, it fuels you to do more, and that kept happening for me.

I'm really bad at self-promotion.

I'm always willing to help out when people have stories and they bring them to me. I also like the completely fun films like 'Patti Cake$.' My taste is, if it feels like it's something I'd like to see, then I'll get behind it.

I'm very grateful for my time in Philadelphia and I want to thank the Eagles organization for the opportunity to play here.

Doing interviews after a game, you can't give your true emotions. You can't tap into them. So when you do that for so long, you go into acting and it can be difficult to suddenly just be open and vulnerable.

You know in acting you have those moments in a movie where a character yells or breaks down crying and you're like, wow, that's acting?

Anybody can be beaten by one pass once. Are you getting beat by that same pass multiple times in the same game? That answer is no.
