Suh only defender to play 'noticeably better'
Ndamukong Suh - DL - Detroit Lions
Jan. 4, 2013 - 9:50 AM ET

Lions GM Martin Mayhew suggested that DT Ndamukong Suh was the only defensive starter who played "noticeably better" in 2012 than 2011.

Mayhew must not be counting Nick Fairley as a starter since he entered the season as a backup to Corey Williams. Mayhew saw growth in Suh "as a player and as a teammate and as a guy." Suh's eight sacks were second only to Geno Atkins' 12.5 among defensive tackles. He was dominant down the stretch.
