Ndamukong Suh, a Cameroonian American football player who plays as a defender for the Detroit Lions, might overshadow his compatriot Samuel Eto’o Fils as one of the highest-paid African athletes. At 26 years old, Suh has gained considerable financial success, with his estimated value surpassing $36 million, including salaries and advertising contracts. This figure exceeds Samuel Eto’o’s salary in Russia, which is reported to be 20 million euros.
Despite his financial achievements, Ndamukong Suh maintains a low profile. He last visited his native land in April 2013. Suh has an impressive list of achievements, winning numerous university titles, including the Outland Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award, and Bill Willis Award in 2009. However, he has also gained notoriety for his aggressive style of play. In November 2011, Suh was suspended for two games for intentionally crushing Evan Dietrich-Smith’s arm during a match.
