CINCINNATI — NFL fans will remember the infamous 2011 Philadelphia Eagles team that added Nnamdi Asomugha as a key free agent. 

Then Eagles star running back LeSean McCoy and his teammates weren't convinced Asomugha was any good from day one of practice and former Bearcats tight end Brent Celek is a big reason why.

The Eagles-lifer got matched up with Asomugha during the corner's first practice playing on a five-year $60 million contract with $25 million guaranteed. Celek toasted him on a deep route, and the whole team knew they had a lemon on their hands.

The former UC star played for the Bearcats from 2003-06.

Watch McCoy describe the sequence below.
