The 2nd-greatest defensive player's season ever

A fun look back at the holy terror Ndamukong Suh was as a senior.

85 tackles, 24 TFL, 12 sacks, 24 QB hurries, 10 PBU, 3 blocked kicks, and an INT.

Should've won the Heisman that year.

Should've won the Big XII championship that year.

Should've been a Lion for life.

His performance vs Texas was the single greatest performance by a DL I have ever seen at any level. He threw Colt McCoy like a rag doll about 10 yds.

Whale Suh was a player for certain and I'd bill it up to a nickel if I ain't have a bunch 7 eyed conflations about a sandstorm that be the serious of truth I reckoned it.

He certainly should have won. 

Even then, he was close. Late in the game (the Big 12 title game, mind you), Texas was backed up against its own end zone, the score in the balance. I thought there was a real chance he could get the sack for the safety and (I believe, don’t have the summary in front of me) the win. 

If he had, he wins the Heisman, no question.

He had a phenomenal start to his career in Detroit with 27.5 sacks in 4 years. He was still a good player after that but never as dominant. I hate to say it but he should've stayed in Detroit. 

 

Also, it's not like the Dolphins did anything. He made the Superbowl in one season with the Rams as second fiddle to Aaron Donald.
