Suh had the tough task of coming into Tampa Bay trying to replace veteran Gerald McCoy, who was taken one spot behind Suh in the 2010 NFL Draft. Suh brought with him not only experience but a toughness that this defense was sorely lacking in recent years. With Suh plugged in up front, Tampa Bay had the league’s best rush defense, allowing just 73.8 yards per game, 13 yards fewer than the New York Jets and their second-best rush defense (86.9). Suh came to Tampa Bay on just a one-year deal, but he’s proven he’s an integral part to this defense. Plus, he’s still got some jets.
