While he will always be known as an All-Pro player with the Lions, Suh won a title with the Buccaneers in 2020 and reached The Big Game twice as a member of the Los Angeles Rams (2018) and Eagles (2022).<\/p>\n<p>That year in Philadelphia showed how important Suh could be to a team.<\/p>\n<p>Midway through the season, the Eagles looked like a Super Bowl-caliber club but with a significant weakness: they couldn&#8217;t stop the run. Suh signed a free agent deal at the halfway point of the regular season, and recorded a sack with 10 tackles, and helped stabilize the group for the stretch run.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia did not win the Super Bowl that year, but Suh&#8217;s impact is still appreciated today.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The veteran defensive tackle, 38, has called it a career on the anniversary of his father&#8217;s passing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;July 12, 2024, was the hardest day of my life,&#8221; Suh said in an emotional statement. &#8220;It&#8217;s the day I said goodbye to my father, the man who raised me, shaped me, challenged me, and believed in me before I believed in myself. He wasn&#8217;t just a dad. He was my idol, my coach, and my anchor. He taught me what it meant to be disciplined, focused, and relentless in everything I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He won&#8217;t be remembered by all for his time as an Eagle, but Suh&#8217;s importance to the organization in 2022 will make him an appreciated member of team history.<\/p>\n<p>And that is always enough for those fans in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\/emotional-ndamukong-suh-announces-retirement-on-saturday-with-eagles-credentials\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Athlon Sports;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Athlon Sports<\/a> on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emotional Ndamukong Suh Announces Retirement on Saturday With Eagles Credentials originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
