Jon Asamoah likely to be taken in first three rounds of NFL Draft

If that seems a little casual, excuse Asamoah. The 6-foot-4, 308-pounder didn't think this was his career path until the past year or two. Turned down by Northwestern, his first choice, Asamoah fielded one scholarship offer from Big Ten Conference schools. Other than the opportunity at Illinois, Asamoah could have picked between some schools in the Mid-American Conference and Cincinnati.

"I'm actually pretty relaxed right now," Asamoah said. "I'm just wondering where I'll be and ready to get things started. This is totally out of my control. I'll sit back and see what happens.

"My mom and I just look at each other and say, 'Wow, can you believe this is going on?' It's amazing to see how far I've gotten in football."
