New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara is having a fantastic season so far. In four games, Amukamara already has 25 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defended. It has some labeling Prince as a breakout star on the Giants defense and safety Antrel Rolle had his own theory as to why Amukamara is playing so well.
Amukamara is a devout Christian who got married over the offseason. Rolle simply connected the dots:
“There are a lot of things different about Prince,” said Rolle while speaking with NJ.com. “For one, he’s married, so he’s (enjoying some things that he wasn’t experiencing before he’s married). For a man, that could definitely help him out. For a man … I’m just being honest … it’s helping him out. He walks around with a little more swagger, which is something that we need, which is something that we love.”
Even better, Amukamara later acknowledged and confirmed Rolle’s quote with reporters.
Prince Amukamara as he walks off the field, looks at the media and says "Yeah, yeah, I'm getting laid. I'm getting laid."

I bet that’s not a quote Amukamara thought he’d have to give when he got out of bed this morning.
