Prince Amukamara knew a lot could change once he entered the NFL.

Heading into his rookie year, he had not taken a drop of alcohol. He also remained constant in his commitment to celibacy.

In a recent interview with Muscle and Fitness magazine, the Giants cornerback was proud to say all of those things remain true in his life. His teammates, some of them anyway, apparently refer to him as the "black Tim Tebow."

"Yeah, some people call me the black Tim Tebow," he told the magazine, adding: "Yeah, I am a virgin. I'm not ashamed to say that."

Hearing Amukamara open up about his personal life is pretty interesting, and you do learn a lot about him during the interview. He talks about meeting his fiance and how Corey Webster and Aaron Ross actually played a major hand in him landing the girl of his dreams.

"We met in New York. We were out dancing. I was just drawn to her. It was right after the Green Bay Packer [playoff] game [in 2012] from my rookie year and I said, “I’m going out because this was a huge win.” I actually went out with Ahmad Bradshaw. We went to this spot in the Meatpacking District called SL. She was standing by the counter. I said, “Are you waiting for someone?” And she said, “Yeah.”

So I didn’t know what else to say after that so I started walking away. But my teammates, Corey Webster and Aaron Ross, made me go back. They were like, “Go say something to her!” And they were cheering me on. She thought we were all rowdy and drunk and she didn’t pay us any attention. Then, later, I was waiting for Ahmad and she came by and we struck up a conversation. I asked her for her e-mail address because when someone asks for your number, it might be too personal and you might not want to give it. But if you ask for their e-mail address, they’ll give it. I was right."

So there you have it. Amukamara, Tebow, e-mailing girls...what else could you be looking for in a story?
