Forgotten Villain Ndamukong Suh Is Happy to Lurk in the Super Bowl Shadows

ATLANTA — If the younger version of Ndamukong Suh were still playing, he would be the most talked-about player of Super Bowl week.

Suh was one of the best defenders in the NFL from 2010 through 2014. He was also the most notorious by far, with a cheap-shot delivering, player-stomping reputation somewhere between a WWE heel and Genghis Khan.

If that version of Suh were playing on Sunday, we'd fret about him crippling Tom Brady, perhaps by suplexing him after the whistle, or costing his team a win with an unnecessary penalty.
