There is no comparison between Dat Nguyen and Timmy Chang. Dat was the first Vietnamese player in the NFL, there have been hawaiians in the NFL before Chang.
Dat's parent's were Vietnamese who escaped on a boat during the fall of Saigon. He started at middle linebacker in probably the toughest conference in the country for 4 years. He set the A&M career tackles record. Pretty good for playing at "Linebacker U".
He also won the Maxwell DPOY award along with the Chuck Bednarik award. He won a Big XII championship in 1998.
Timmy Chang is the next Ty Detmer.
