The Detroit Lions defensive tackle rookie Ndamukong Suh image is becoming tarnished by the week. It seems Suh is facing some very series anger issues during his time on the field. Suh has become known for playing dirty and has been recently called one of the dirtiest people in the National Football League. According to the www.businessinsider.com Suh is the dirtiest player in the NFL.  They’ve even listed the top 10 reasons why Suh is rated the dirtiest player in the NFL. Recently Suh was thrown out the game and suspended for the next two games for slamming and kicking an offensive lineman who plays for the Green Bay Packers.  While Suh was also fined earlier this season for tackling Andy Dalton by the neck and punching a New England Patriots lineman. While his latest headline doesn’t even involve his on the field actions. Suh is accused of lying about a car accident he was involved in Saturday, December 3, 2011. Suh is accused of lying to police by saying that no one suffered any injuries according to yahoo sport. Com. Actions like these taken by Suh can affect his public image in a tremendous way. Ndamukong Suh's public relations advisors can aim him into a positive direction by improving him as a man first. They can tend to his anger issues first by sending him to anger management. Anger management can help Ndamukong control himself on the field even after a dirty play was made on him.While Suh has stated that his actions are not intentional. According to crainsdetroit.com Suh’s response on whether he intentionally stepped on another player: "Not by any means. I understand in this world because of the type of player and type of person I am, all eyes are on me. So why would I do something to jeopardize myself and jeopardize my team first and foremost. I would also make Ndamukong become a sports advocate to speak out against player’s who play the game in a displeasing fashion. Ndamukong Suh public image can still survive in a positive way only if he seeks out anger management.
