Ndamukong Suh to the Redskins? No thanks, I’ll pass

Posted on by Peter Hailey

Ndamukong Suh is one of the most disruptive forces in football, someone who causes offensive coordinators to wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, a player who can take over a game from a position where it’s rare to see that, and an absolute badass.

You’ve heard of the phrase “Midas touch,” a reference to the king from Greek mythology who could turn anything into gold simply by touching it, haven’t you?
