Former All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha taps in with Peanut and Roman on the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast. The guys welcome Nnamdi by saying his last name correctly, not like former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on Draft Day, as Nnamdi explains (5:30). Nnamdi reflects on his excitement entering the NFL turn to dread after owner Al Davis made him change positions (11:08). Nnamdi also shares how he learned the NFL ropes from Hall of Famers Charles and Rod Woodson (14:13). He also explains how his growth as a player and person while with the Raiders was the reason he signed a one-day contract to retire with the organization (9:20). Nnamdi also gets candid about the mental anguish he experienced as a 32-year-old trying to figure out his next chapter after retirement (19:52). Though he’s a Hollywood leading man now as an actor, Nnamdi shares how he found passion in acting and why he believes he's found success in the craft (34:03). Then, Peanut and Nnamdi list the DBs taken in the 2003 Draft, and why they call it the greatest DB Draft of all time (53:26).
