"Football has always been at the center point of my life - I accomplished anything and everything in that space, and there's so many other things for me to go and explore."

Ndamukong Suh was a dominant force in the NFL for 13 seasons and now, he’s ready to tackle his next chapter with the same discipline and determination that made him so unstoppable on the field. Ndamukong opens up about the last two seasons leading up to his retirement on July 12, 2025, the opportunities he turned down, and the advice from his father that he's honoring a year after his passing. He also tells Dan why he avoided the media as a player despite his star status, and what he really thinks about 99% of those infamous fines he received.
