PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Asante Samuel struts around after making big plays, dances in the end zone whenever he goes the distance with an interception and constantly chatters on the field and sideline.

That’s his personality every week against any opponent.

There’s no telling what Samuel will do if he picks off a pass from old friend Tom Brady when the Philadelphia Eagles host New England on Sunday.

Samuel spent his first five seasons with the Patriots and established himself as one of the premier playmaking cornerbacks in the NFL. He knows Brady well after facing him in practice every day from 2003-07.
