Ndamukong Ngwa Suh (/ɪnˈdɑːməkɪn ˈs/ in-DAH-mə-kin SOO, born January 6, 1987) is an American former professional football player who played defensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for 13 seasons. He played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, earning unanimous All-American honors in 2009. Suh was selected by the Detroit Lions second overall in the 2010 NFL draft. He also played for the Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Suh played in three Super Bowls during his career: Super Bowl LIII with the Rams, Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers, and Super Bowl LVII with the Eagles.

As a college senior, Suh became one of the most decorated players in college football history. He won numerous awards, including the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, and Outland Trophy.

During his time with the Lions, Suh was selected to four All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams and was awarded Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2010. In 2015, Suh became the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, having signed a six-year contract with the Dolphins, worth in excess of $114 million, with nearly $60 million fully guaranteed, but he was released after just three seasons. Suh was often criticized for his aggressive style of play and lack of sportsmanship. Suh was one of four defensive tackles named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
