The Detroit Lions drafted Suh in the 2010 NFL Draft after he spent his college career with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He also played for the Miami Dolphins (2015-17), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-21) and most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.

To announce his retirement, Suh shared a heartfelt message on social media, paying tribute to his late father, who he lost exactly one year ago today. It was his dad who told Suh to “let football go” before he passed, telling Ndamukong, “You’ve done everything you set out to do.”

Veteran defensive lineman Ndamdukong Suh, who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, is retiring after playing 13 seasons in the NFL.
