## Caption

Ndamukong Suh was one of the most dominant — and polarizing — defensive linemen of his generation. Suh played 13 seasons in the NFL with five teams, earned multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections, and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Suh spoke to Business Insider about the physical and emotional toll of life in professional football. He breaks down NFL contracts, the costs of staying in the game, and the financial realities players face. He also reflects on the connections he built with fans and the teams he played for, his decision to retire, and what life can look like after professional sports.

Since retiring, Suh has become an outspoken voice on the business of football through his podcast, "No Free Lunch with Ndamukong Suh."
