Summary

"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.

I'm looking forward to talking to Endomic and Sue for a number of different reasons.

0:33.3

Obviously, man's a menace.

0:35.5

He's been a menace for a long time.

0:39.4

He's a businessman. No free lunch is now the podcast game that he has entered, as he's telling everyone to listen and talk and

0:45.1

learn about business. The reason I'm excited about doing this, though, has very little to do

0:49.9

with your football career. Has much to do with, I believe, that the way that you entered the league

0:56.3

was so distrustful that we never got an ability to get to know you after that because you

1:02.5

had to be careful. Yeah. And you were misrepresented as sort of a man child before you had

1:08.0

become an adult and you were scarred. And so I'm watching you for 20 years.

1:12.4

I'm like, man, I really admire what he does. I'd love to know how he became all of that.

1:16.6

He's never going to show us because he doesn't trust us. Yeah. And so I hope that over the course of

1:22.1

this conversation, you will allow me to see a little more of how you became, who you became,

1:26.1

when fame got to you at, what is it, 2007, 2008?

1:34.3

Now it would have been, 0, 9, 10, things of that nature, but yeah.

1:39.4

You're not an adult yet. You are, you look like an adult, you play, you play like an adult,

1:44.9

but you're a college kid. Yeah, you, you, you hit it on the nail on the head. I think a lot of

1:49.7

kids, uh, and a lot of people look at kids that are in the limelight as they should be adults and
