Sporting News ranks Suh higher than Adrian Peterson

As the Detroit Lions prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday from Minneapolis, the Sporting News has released their list of the top 100 players in the NFL.

The highest ranked Lion on that list is DT Ndamukong Suh who comes in ranked at #8.

Here is the what the Sporting News had to say about Suh’s ranking…

“Suh has accomplished the unthinkable: He’s making people fear playing Detroit. And opposing quarterbacks and running backs should be afraid of the Defensive Rookie of the Year. This is a guy who shrugged off a personal foul after a near-decapitation of rookie QB Andy Dalton by claiming he’s so big and strong, NFL referees don’t know how to gauge the violence of his hits. Are you going to tell him he’s wrong? Didn’t think so.”

The Lions also have WR Calvin Johnson ranked #26 on the list which makes him the fourth highest wide-out in the league according to the Sporting News.

The intriguing outcome in all of this is Suh was ranked one spot higher than Vikings RB Adrian Peterson. Peterson and Suh will go head-to-head on Sunday.
