Mike Sielski: Ndamukong Suh was the NFL’s bad guy. A Super Bowl win might change that image forever.

PHOENIX — Ndamukong Suh sings softly of the multitudes he contains. “I have a lot of different dimensions,” he said one day in the Eagles’ locker room, on a rare occasion when he was in the Eagles’ locker room at the same time that media members were.

A University of Nebraska alumnus, he calls Warren Buffett a friend. A Portland native and Nike endorser, he trains daily each offseason at the LeBron James Innovation Center in Beaverton and has had business sitdowns with John Donahoe, who is the company’s chief executive officer, and several higher-ups in the apparel department. He opened his own Nike store years ago.

“I love these yoga pants,” he said, tugging at the olive-green leggings he was wearing, “and I was wondering if they’d come out with new versions and what they would look like. Fortunately, Nike affords me a lot of different opportunities. I can get a hold of people.”
