may have dropped him -- along with his smallish frame and injury history -- to the fourth round of this years draft.
Everyone has noticed, though, that Suggs has a little shake in his style, and a lot of energy as he tries to slam the ball up the field.
And make no mistake about it: Suggs does not believe the 49 touchdowns he scored during the 2000 and 2002 seasons at Virginia Tech (he was injured in 2001) were a fluke.
