Ndamukong Suh is from Portland (where I live). He played college ball at Nebraska (where I’m from). The Detroit Lion tore up the NFL as a rookie last season. Now, he’s starring in the latest ad from Chrysler, courtesy of Wieden+Kennedy.
Like Eminem in the automaker’s hit Super Bowl ad, Suh stoically drives a Chrysler through the streets of his hometown — in this case, Portland — while a grizzly voice extols the virtues of hard work and humble beginnings.
In related news, MLive.com reports that Suh plans to participate in the upcoming Gumball 3000, a 10-country race sponsored by video game developer Ubisoft. Suh plans to drive either a Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger or Charger in the race.

He’s also running local TV in Omaha with a local Ford dealership. Wonder how that played out in the Chrysler negotiations…
I like this ad, mainly because I don’t want Suh upset and come trucking through me.
Love the boy named Suh. He and Fairley are going to be a force to be reckoned with this year!
