Prince ready to run and show he's top-10 worthy - NFL - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
Pretty good article.
"Nevertheless, if a team drafts him with a move to safety in mind, Amukamara will take on the challenge of switching positions just as he did at Nebraska. He signed with the Huskers as a highly touted prep running back, and Amukamara initially bristled at the idea of switching to the defensive side of the ball, even considering transferring.
"That was tough. I didn't want to be a selfish player, but the success that I'd had to that point had mostly come by playing offense," he said.
"It tested my faith a little. I spent a lot of time with the team chaplain and asked coach (Bo) Pelini straight out if I could stay on offense. He told me, 'Yeah, I have no problem with that, but I've been coaching for a long time and I think you could play for a long time in the league and earn yourself some money by making the move to cornerback.' I just trusted that God knew where he wanted me and the experience of my coach and the rest is history, as they say."
