Ndamukong Suh has retired from the NFL after a 13-year career, he announced on social media Saturday.

The second overall pick in the 2010 draft said his father advised him to retire before he died in July 2024.

"Before he passed, he gave me one final piece of advice: 'It's time to let football go. You've done everything you set out to do. Now it's time for the next chapter,'" Suh wrote.

"That conversation stayed with me. So today, one year later, I'm honoring that wish. I'm officially retiring from the NFL."

Suh was named the AP College Football Player of the Year at Nebraska in 2009 before entering the NFL. He was selected by the Detroit Lions and made an immediate impact, earning first-team All-Pro honors in his rookie season while securing the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

The five-time Pro Bowler also suited up for the Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles during his NFL run. He played in three Super Bowls and won a Lombardi Trophy with the Buccaneers in 2020.

Suh was named to five All-Pro teams and is considered one of the most feared defensive tackles in league history. He racked up 600 tackles and 71.5 sacks in his career.
