Asante Samuel Jr.: 'I Feel Like I'm the Best Corner in the Draft'

Cornerback exudes confidence. It's not just the assurance of a natural-born corner, though that's part of the package. His calm, cool exterior is necessary at arguably the most difficult position in today's pass-first game.

"I feel like I'm the best corner in the draft," Samuel says, and it doesn't sound like he's boasting.
