As one of the more fun-loving players in the NFL, you never know what Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs will say in an interview. We got a chance to sit down with him during a visit to NFL Network studios Friday and talked about a number of things, including the new Arizona State uniforms, his teammate Tom Zbikowski’s boxing career, and his rival Hines Ward’s performance on “Dancing with the Stars.”
