Throughout his career, Ndamukong Suh has earned a reputation as a problematic professional athlete. However, over the past couple of years, Suh has revamped his image and become one of the premier athletes in the NFL today. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Suh played his collegiate ball at the University of Nebraska from 2005 to 2009. In five seasons with the Cornhuskers, Suh racked up a total of 215 tackles, 24 sacks, four interceptions, and two touchdowns. In his final seasons, Suh was honored with the Lombardi Award for best lineman/linebacker in the country, Associated Press Player of the Year, and named a Heisman Trophy finalist.
In the 2010 NFL Draft, Ndamukong Suh was drafted 2nd overall by the Detroit Lions where he became an instant force winning Defensive Rookie of the Year. Suh played the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Lions where he racked up an approximate total of $64.5 million. His next contract with the Miami Dolphins made him one of the richest defensive players in NFL history signing with the Florida-based team $114.3 million for six seasons. Unfortunately, Suh was cut from the team three seasons into the contract and has become a journeyman around the league ever since. This also has allowed him to rake in the big bucks signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams for $14 million last season and a one-year, $9.2 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thus far, Ndamukong Suh has almost touched the $150 million mark. When it's all said and done, Suh will be a much richer man than he already is.
