The 35-year-old Suh will first have to grow comfortable in his role with the Eagles as he looks to help a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
A team official tried to head off the veteran defensive tackle before he reached the scrum, but Suh’s pace was too quick for them.Suh’s jaunt wasn’t the only thing moving fast for the 35-year-old Friday, one day after signing with the Eagles to bolster a defensive line that the team hopes will impact games deep into January and perhaps beyond.
“I think it came down, truthfully, to relationships,” Suh said. “I spoke to some other teams throughout the weeks, but again, Ted, Howie [Roseman,] ownership, just in general, I felt really comfortable with this opportunity here.”Eagles coach Nick Sirianni wouldn’t say whether Suh or Linval Joseph, the other defensive tackle the Eagles added this week, would play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 draft behind former Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, started his career with Detroit mostly as a strong, athletic three-technique. Since then, he has played in odd and even fronts up and down the line of scrimmage and has experience in the 5-2 front the Eagles run at times.
Although Suh spent the first half of his career as the focal point of most teams he was on, the three-time All-Pro said he’s happy to fill his space in the Eagles’ defensive tackle rotation, no matter how limited.
