ASOMUGHA INVITED BY BILL CLINTON TO SPECIAL WEEKEND
Some people make you feel like a better person by simply knowing them. Case in point: Oakland Raider cornerback and Hugbacker fave Nnamdi Asomugha. One week after his debut as a Pro Bowl starter, Nnamdi was invited to attend yet another special event–this time as a guest of none other than former President Bill Clinton.

Nnamdi was the only athlete at President Clinton’s annual Global Initiative University Meeting, which took place February 13-15 in Austin, TX. The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) was established in 2005, with its annual meeting serving as “a nonpartisan catalyst, bringing together global leaders, students, university representatives, nonprofit organizations, charities, and business leaders to discuss challenges and devise innovative solutions.”
We caught up with Nnamdi today to get his thoughts on the weekend, and he told us, “Being able to talk to 1,500 university students and professors worldwide on the topics of education and public service was like a dream come true. President Clinton and the celebrities who attended were all gracious, and we shared the same mind when it comes to helping the world be a better place. It was truly an honor.”

We’re pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as Nnamdi being tapped for his experienced counsel in improving the lives of others…the man is nonstop inspiration!
