Super Bowl Champion Asante Samuel of the New England Patriots has been selected as the starting corner back for the AFC team in the NFL’s 2008 “Pro Bowl” in Hawaii.

New York, New York December 18, 2007---- Asante Samuel of the New England Patriots has been selected as the starting corner back for the AFC team in the NFL’s 2008 “Pro Bowl” in Hawaii. The Patriots will send eight players to the Pro Bowl for the first time since 1985. Asante has five years of experience in the NFL and has been a member of the dynamic New England Patriots since he was drafted in 2003. This year has been a phenomenal year for Mr. Samuel who currently has six interceptions to date. Asante Samuel joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Haynes, Ty Law and Raymond Clayborn as one of four Patriots cornerbacks to earn Pro Bowl honors since the 1970 merger. Samuel’s six interceptions this season lead the Patriots and are tied for fourth in the NFL. His 16 passes defensed lead the team and rank fifth in the league. Since the beginning of the 2006 season, Samuel leads the NFL with 16 interceptions. In 2006, Samuel led the league with 10 interceptions and also topped the NFL with 24 passes defensed. He was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week following a two-interception performance against Philadelphia on Nov. 25, 2007. This Pro Bowl selection is one that is by far well deserved for Mr. Samuel. The Pro Bowl game will be played February 10, 2008 at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.

"Asante Samuel is an example of not just a great athlete but a well rounded man of purpose. We are very proud to be surrounded by a league of champions on and off the field,” said Team Management owners Alonzo Shavers and Glenn Toby.

Infinite sports and Team Management dedicate this accomplishment of their client to the people in need being serviced by the Book Bank Foundation’s "Shelter From the Streets" initiative on December 20, 2007.

In addition to Asante Samuel’s wonderful athletic accomplishments this year Samuel’s dedicated his athletic performance against the Philadelphia Eagles to The Book Bank Foundation.
