Ndamukong Suh’s first move in Tampa Bay: Dodging his reputation as a dirty player

TAMPA — Ndamukong Suh’s expression was mostly deliberate and businesslike as he navigated his Bucs introductory news conference Friday. Suh cracked a few smiles, one a slight smirk at the first mention of his reputation as the game’s dirtiest player.

It was a question the defensive tackle has had to answer in three previous NFL stops, so Suh was prepared to play defense for the first time in Tampa Bay.

“I think when people have seen blips of me … it’s been in a negative light rather than a positive light, and that is due to outlets of media, social media, whatever it may be,” Suh said.
