The Rams have added another dynamic playmaker to their defense, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract with free agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

“We are excited to have Ndamukong as a part of the Los Angeles Rams,” general manager Les Snead said in a statement. “He’s been an outstanding player in this league and we are looking forward to him being a part of our defense.”

Suh has been one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL since entering the league as the Lions’ No. 2 overall pick in 2010. He made an immediate impact in Detroit, recording 10.0 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovered for a touchdown, an interception, and three passes defensed in his rookie year en route to being named 2010 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year.

After playing five seasons in Detroit — finishing No. 7 on the franchise list in sacks — Suh signed with Miami, where he’s spent the last three years. In that time, the defensive tackle recorded 15.5 sacks.

Suh hasn’t had many postseason opportunities, but he’s been at his best in them. In three career playoff games, he has recorded 3.5 sacks — with at least a half-sack in each contest.

Recognized as one of the game’s best interior pass rushers, Suh has recorded 51.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in his career. He’s been named to five Pro Bowls (2010, 2012-2014, 2016) and is a three-time first-team All-Pro (2010, 2013, 2014). Suh's durability is also notable, as he's missed only two games in his entire eight-year career.

Suh is likely to start alongside defensive tackle Aaron Donald — the 2017 AP Defensive Player of the Year — and defensive lineman Michael Brockers in coordinator Wade Phillips’ 3-4 scheme. Additionally, Los Angeles now has three of the players named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in the last decade: Suh, Donald (2014), and cornerback Marcus Peters (2015).

Kristen Lago's Five Things to Know about Rams DT Ndamukong Suh

The Rams have added yet another dynamic playmaker to their defense in defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All Pro will join 2017 AP Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald, as a core member of the Rams defensive front next season. 

Here are five things to know about the newest Ram:

1) He is a first-generation American
Suh was born and raised in Portland, Oregon but he is the first of his family to be born in the United States. His father, Michael, is from Cameroon and played semi-professional soccer in Germany, while his mother, Bernadette, was born in Jamaica.

He was named after his paternal great-grandfather. In the Ngemba language of Cameroon, Ndamukong means “House of Spears.” Suh has visited both Cameroon and Jamaica and was even named an ambassador in Ntankah — the town where his dad grew up.

2) Suh is friends with billionaire investor Warren Buffett
In his spare time, Suh seeks business advice from former athletes like Roger Staubach or Magic Johnson and has been very vocal about his desire to pursue a business career post-football.

As such, the defensive tackle has formed a few unlikely friendships with business moguls — like billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The pair first became acquainted at a meeting in Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway office in Omaha, Nebraska. 

The self-made billionaire and Suh both attended the University of Nebraska and as Buffett told the Sun Sentinel, “We hit it off right away.” Since that first meeting, Suh has shadowed Buffett multiple times and the two remain in close contact.

3) He has appeared on several reality TV shows
Suh is no stranger to the small screen.

In total, he has appeared on three different reality TV shows — as a contestant on the Fox celebrity dating show “The Choice,” plus as a participant in both the ABC celebrity diving show “Splash” and an episode of the Discovery Channel’s “American Muscle.”

4) Suh has donated over $2 Million to his alma mater
On April 17, 2010, at the annual Husker Spring Game, Suh announced a $2.6 million donation to the University of Nebraska. Two million dollars would go to Nebraska Athletics, while the remaining $600,000 created an endowed scholarship for the UNL College of Engineering.

His gift was the largest, single charitable contribution to the University by any former player and occurred several weeks before Suh was selected as the second overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

5) He was the first collegiate defensive player to win the AP Player of the Year
Suh’s college career was one for the record books. Through four years at the University of Nebraska, the defensive tackle led the Huskers to a Big 12 Championship and their first ever shutout win in the 2009 Holiday Bowl.

In his senior season, Suh earned unanimous first-team All-Big 12 honors and the Big-12 Defensive Player of the Year Award. He was also named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, took home the Lombardi Trophy — for the top collegiate lineman or linebacker — and was the first ever defensive player to receive the AP Player of the Year Award.

Rams wide receiver Robert Woods joined the NFL Network’s Lindsay Rhodes on NFL Total Access on Thursday night. Not only does Woods reunite with fellow USC alum Willie McGinest, but he also discusses the Rams’ offseason moves thus far. In addition, Rhodes asks the wide receiver about the NFL’s proposed rule changes and what he believes constitutes a catch.
