You have to love his competitive nature.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pounder said Friday that he hasn’t changed his stance on doing every run, lift and drill at the NFL Combine, which starts Feb. 24 in Indianapolis. It’s not unusual for high-ranked prospects to pick and choose what they do, figuring the risk is bigger than the reward.
“I’ve been getting this question a lot, and I’ve talked to a lot of great players and coaches that have been at the next level and getting their advice,’’ Suh said. “And me, in my situation, I feel that personally I want to get everything and lay everything on the table at the combine. I don’t want to leave any questions, no stones unturned. I want to lay it all on the line.
“Then obviously if I feel I didn’t do as well as I planned up there, then I’ll move from there and re-look at that drill or that run at my pro day in March at Nebraska.’’
Suh said he is “training for every last bit of it’’ rather than zeroing in on one facet. That has made for the busy days at the Michael Johnson Performance Center, opened in 2007 by the five-time Olympic gold medal sprinter.
An average day starts with a workout from about 8:30 a.m. until noon. Suh then takes a two- or three-hour window to rest or do prep work for the Wonderlic test and interviews with teams. He follows with another workout session from about 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Among those with him at the Johnson Center are receiver Brandon LaFell of Louisiana State and tailback Dexter McCluster of Mississippi. Suh said his competitive side came out recently when he challenged the 5-9, 170-pound McCluster in the pro agility run.
Suh generally is in the 4.2- or 4.3-second range. The speedy McCluster routinely goes sub-4.0.
“We’re doing the 5-10-5 the other day and I was like, ‘C’mon, Dex, let me race you,’ ” Suh said. “Of course he’s going to beat me. But like I said, I want to be the best at not only my position, but I want to challenge other guys.’’ -

I applaud this move. Suh is going to make NFL guys admit he's a great athlete. I know more than one who'd rather a guy like Suh didn't exist in this draft.Beautiful Nebraska, peaceful prairieland,
Laced with many rivers, and the hills of sand;
Dark green valleys cradled in the earth,
Rain and sunshine bring abundant birth.
