"In Their Words"
Excellent Character
“I don’t know if there’s a better player in college football...I have had the good fortune to work with a number of outstanding players, great leaders and men of excellent character. Ndamukong Suh ranks at the top of that list when you evaluate his total impact on our football program.”
Bo Pelini
Nebraska Football Coach
Future Standout
“When you combine his physical tools, production, high football acumen and desire to succeed, it equates to a future standout in the NFL.”
Mel Kiper
ESPN NFL Draft Analyst
Impact Player
“He might not possess all the greatness of the late Reggie White, but he sure does physically resemble him ... Suh is the only lineman among the top 98 players in America in passes defended, having batted down seven passes and intercepted one. The pick came in Suh's mauling of Missouri's offensive line Thursday, when he also compiled five tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. Most impactful defensive player in the country right now.”

En-dom-ah-ken Soo
“Nebraska's defensive tackle is approaching the point where he becomes the defensive equivalent of Tim Tebow -- able to control the game by himself ... whose name is pronounced En-dom-ah-ken Soo, is coming off what might be the best game ever by a collegiate defensive tackle...six tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, two pass breakups and an interception that led to the winning touchdown. ”

Dominant
"I can't imagine a better defensive lineman in the country ... The numbers he puts up and the things he does athletically at that size, he’s a very dominant player. He’s a great, great football player. I can’t a imagine a lot of other defensive tackles like him in the country. I’d like to see them.”
Gary Pinkel
Missouri Coach
Quality Player
“I’ve been very aware of what a quality player he is. It’s pretty special when a guy like that can make those kinds of plays and create turnovers”
Bob Stoops
Oklahoma Coach
Unblockable
“Suh is virtually unblockable and he does things no other DT can. He leads his team in tackles, again. That’s shocking. That simply doesn’t happen these days. You might as well see a 2,500-yard rusher. Last season, he was the first DT to lead Nebraska in tackles in 35 years. To have this kind of production again -- after knowing how he is the focal point of a rival’s game plan -- is enough to get him on the Heisman radar. Maybe he can get in the race. I know this -- he’ll be in my top five this week because I doubt there are five better players in college football.”

Outstanding
“A defensive tackle who leads his team in tackles, drops into coverage and picks off passes is every bit as outstanding as a 4,000-yard passer or an 1,800-yard back...a player like Suh affects every play in which he participates. Opposing offensive coordinators must design game plans around him. Quarterbacks must always know where he is."
