Asomugha was lauded for his level of play and tight coverage during the 49ers' preseason win over the Chiefs on Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith overthrew two passes to receivers lining up against Asomugha due to the tight coverage and opted not to throw against the veteran cornerback for much of the game. Asomugha has been praised for his performances in practices as well and seems primed to land a roster spot in the defensive backfield this season.
