Timmy Jernigan: 'I want to play like Ndamukong Suh'

Former Florida State Seminoles defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan reveals that he wants to model his approach to the game on the Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh.

Former Florida State Seminoles defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan has revealed that he wants to base his style of play on the Detroit Lions' Ndamukong Suh.

The 21-year-old, who has been widely tipped to be selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, has admitted that he likes the way the three-time All-Pro approaches the game despite some disciplinary issues.

"I love Ndamukong Suh," Jernigan told reporters. "I love the way he plays the game, his mindset, the mentality, the nastiness he plays with. The guy's lethal.

"You can tell that with the way he plays. That's the way you have to play this position especially on that level.

"If you don't play the game with an attitude, you really won't make it too long playing inside."

Jernigan recorded 35 tackles during his final year in Florida, along with 4.5 sacks.
