    When asked about the possibility that he might be a contract holdout in training camp, Detroit Lions first-round pick Ndamukong Suh said, "I'm not a guy who likes to be part of drama or the limelight. I definitely don't want to hold out and (Suh's agents) have an understanding that we want to be on time in camp and ready to go." With a premium on quarterbacks and the fact Bradford was taken ahead of him, it might be reasonable to assume that Suh would accept being paid as college football's second-best player. Perhaps not. "I feel like being paid and, as coach (Jim) Schwartz said, he feels I'm the best player in college football and I think they understand that. I don't think it'll be a problem," Suh said on Friday. "This is my first time in this situation and I don't know what's fair. That's why I picked my agents because I think they know what's fair. It has to do with both parties and my understanding is the Lions see me as the best player in the draft and college football, as coach Schwartz said. I don't think it's going to be a problem at all."
