Ndamukong Suh announced his retirement on Saturday
Former Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh announced his retirement on Saturday, three years after he played in his last game. Suh made a long retirement announcement on Twitter to tell fans that he was officially stepping away from football.
A five-time Pro Bowler before he arrived in L.A., Suh signed with the Rams as a free agent in 2018 and helped them reach the Super Bowl that season. Despite being paired with the best defensive tackle in the NFL for a year, 2018 was Suh’s only season with the L.A. Rams.
The second overall pick in 2010 by the Detroit Lions — one year after they drafted Matthew Stafford — Suh posted 10 sacks as a rookie and was named as a first-team All-Pro that year. In some ways, it would be Suh’s best career season.
Suh spent the first five seasons of his career in Detroit and then signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2015. He spent three years there and made one Pro Bowl prior to then joining the Rams in 2018.
Suh would then play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years and actually then helped the Philadelphia Eagles reach the Super Bowl in 2022, although he didn’t play very many snaps.
In addition to helping Tom Brady win a Super Bowl in 2020, Suh went to three of five Super Bowls, with three different teams, over the last five years of his career. He appeared in 12 playoff games over those five years compared to three playoff games in his first eight.
Suh is now officially retired, three years after he was unofficially retired.
