Tom Brady recently revealed his list of players he was most afraid to be hit by during his NFL career and it featured a prominent former member of the Detroit Lions.
During an appearance on Logan Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast, Brady listed legendary names like Ray Lewis, Aaron Donald, and J.J. Watt as players he was afraid to be hit by.
The list also included former Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
Suh established himself as a menace on the defensive side of the football early in his NFL career, both with his dominance and his propensity to find himself operating outside the rules.
The Lions' former second overall pick was a massive individual at 6'4" and 313 pounds, making it obvious why he would somebody you wouldn't want to be tackled by.
He also put that size to good use.
Over five seasons in Detroit, Suh was responsible for 36 sacks, 238 total tackles, and 66 tackles for loss on his way to earning All-Pro honors four times.
While Brady and Suh wouldn't have crossed paths much during those years, they had plenty of encounters during the three years Suh spent with the Miami Dolphins.
The two also actually spent a couple of years as teammates near the end of their careers.
In 2020, they teamed up to win a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then played the 2021 season together as well.
Suh wasn't the only player on Brady's list with a connection to the Lions.
The seven-time champion also named Haloti Ngata, who spent three years with the Lions late in his career, as part of his list.
