Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is certainly excited about the great possibilities of playing beside newly drafted defensive tackle Nick Fairley. 
However according to Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com, the excitement comes with a dose of reality, they need to go out and prove it on the football field first.
Smith writes that Suh talked about those possibilities during a promotional appearance Sunday.
“It’s going to be exciting to be able to have a guy like that come out and be really a truly impact guy from the first couple days of him getting on the field,” Suh said.
Suh was quick to point out that the only thing the Lions have right now is a very deep defensive line.
“I think on paper we have one of the strongest defensive lines across the board,” Suh said. “It’s going to be exciting with that, but we’ve got to go out there and prove it. It may look good on paper, but you definitely want to get out there and make some noise.”
Nick Fairley is certainly going to benefit from playing alongside guys like Ndamukong Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosch. Lions fans are going to need to yield a little more patience with Fairley however. I don’t expect him to come out and have the dominant season the Suh did his rookie year. However that time will come with a little NFL seasoning.
Fairley is going to have a better chance at succeeding in the NFL on the Lions then just about any other team.
