While Dave Wilcox is a 7x Pro Bowl selectee and 2x All-Pro First Team roster member in eleven seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, defensive end Ndamukong Suh has already surpassed the linebackers personal accolades in just ten seasons in the NFL. Yes, Ndamukong has struggled with his temper throughout the course of his pro-football career, but he's also an instant game-changer when he's on the field. In five seasons at the University of Nebraska, Suh racked up a total of 215 total tackles, 24 sacks, and four interceptions finishing fourth in the Heisman race in 2009.
The following year, Suh was selected 2nd overall in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. While being as dominant as he's been, Suh has played for a multitude of teams including the Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, and currently the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2010, Suh was named Defensive Rookie of the Year and he's also raked in seven Pro Bowl selections and three All-Pro First Team honors. Currently, at the age of 32, we don't see Suh slowing down anytime soon. He destroys offensive lines with ease and keeps quarterbacks with their head on a swivel. We'll be hearing his name a lot more as time moves forward.

Who would have thought that young millennials would be into rum?

Nowadays, people have become more accepting of imperfection; when it comes to fresh produce that is.
