It took about five years before anybody not following the Cal Bears or the Oakland Raiders realized the gem that is Nnamdi Asomugha. It also took about that long before Al Davis gave him a contract that is more in line with the type of performance that Raider Nation has become accustomed to ($45.375 million over three years - highest in NFL history). As with everything in American society nowadays, you're only as good as your last contract. Thanks to Mr. Davis, Asomugha is now considered the best or one of the top two or three at his position. So if you haven't followed Asomugha since he donned the silver and black of the Raiders, you may find a story by Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated to be a very interesting tale. Actually, you may find it interesting even if you have been following the former Golden Bear.
