Suh expressed peace and gratitude as he steps away after a successful football career.
I credit my father as "my idol, my coach, and my anchor." He taught me what it meant to let go when the time was right.
It is time to let football go. You've done everything you set out to do. Now it's time for the next chapter.
I left it all on the field, and now I'm stepping away with peace and gratitude. I've been preparing for this moment for years.
July 12, 2024 was the hardest day of my life, the day I said goodbye to my father, who shaped and believed in me.
