SOUNDBITE (English): Ndamukong Suh, Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle(On signing with the Miami Dolphins and having played for the Detroit Lions)

"This is obviously a great day. I first and foremost want to thank everybody for welcoming me here to Miami. And today's going to be a great a day and there's many more to come after that. For me, it was, I had a great time in Detroit and I think the fans were absolutely exquisite to me, especially the people in the organisation the last five years. For me it was nothing but short of being amazing time. I had a lot of long lasting relationships that I had in Detroit, and I always for have those people and really enjoyed that time there. And for me right now is embarking on a new career and a new place here in Miami with the Dolphins and I'm absolutely excited about it."

SOUNDBITE (English): Ndamukong Suh, Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle(On being a misunderstood player)

"I think for me being misunderstood is kind of relays into people having their own opinion and kind of sticking with that rather then getting to know me as these gentlemen have and done their research and then really seen what type of person I am. Because like Mr. Ross (Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross) spoke of people learn from their mistakes and then grow and get better and become better human beings at the end of the day."

SOUNDBITE (English): Ndamukong Suh, Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle(On his role with Dolphins)

"This is the ultimate team sport. There's no way I could do it by myself. And I want to be without question a cornerstone of it but at the same time our quarterback is going to be a cornerstone. Ryan Tannehill (Miami Dolphins Quarterback), which I have a lot of respect for, one because he's taking my hits and giving me some tough times chasing him around. But at the end of the day, I just want to be a cornerstone of this franchise and continue to do my part and one, on the field as well as off the field."
