Portis: I Would've Choked Suh Out; He's Not 'That Tough' Of a Player

Ndamukong Suh walked away from Week 1 free of any league penalty when his mammoth leg removing Albert Morris' helmet was "not deemed a kick."

Put former Hurricane and ex-NFL star Clinton Portis in that situation and it may have ended differently.

"I just would love to be in that situation," Portis said Monday on ESPN 980. "Why didn't guys play that way when I was on the field? I wish a guy would have. I would have dove at the back of Suh's knees so quick and got up and just probably choked him out. I definitely wouldn't have let him get away with that. But again, Alfred Morris is a different guy than myself."

"Guys give this facade of being tough and, 'Oh man, I'm the man and don't try me,' and you know, they're really not," Portis continued. "I don't think Suh is, you know, that tough of a player. I think he's a great player though."

Well, it might be a good thing for Clinton he's retired. Suh outweighs him by roughly 100 pounds.
