Interesting, thought I'd pass it along:
“He is the most underrated football player in the history of the game,” Shanahan said of Asomugha. “I can’t believe this guy hasn’t been to the Pro Bowl or people don’t talk about him all the time. He is off the charts and as good as it gets. He doesn’t get the attention for the way he plays consistently. He is the most underrated football player that I have ever seen in my coaching career.”

Nnamdi Asomugha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not even established star quarterbacks such as Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, neither short on confidence or receivers, would challenge him. 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 10 years" in 2007 *[4]. He finished the 2007 season with 34 tackles, 1 interception and 7 breakups and was named a Pro Bowl alternate.
NOBODY throws to this guy even though the Raiders have a horrible defense and pass rush. People say this guy is like Deion Sanders in his prime, except that he's a great tackler too. Mainstream media doesn't know him because he plays for the crappy Raiders.
