DAVIE, Fla. -- Strong safety Louis Delmas is well aware of the outside reputation that precedes new Miami Dolphins teammate Ndamukong Suh.

"The perception of him is a guy that's very selfish," said Delmas, who played with Suh from 2010-13 in Detroit. "A guy that loves to hurt people."

From well-publicized stomps of opposing players to borderline hits on quarterbacks, Suh may never be able to completely live down his checkered on-field past. But he is working to build a future legacy that goes beyond controversial cheap shots or even being the NFL's most dominant defensive tackle.

Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum didn't just sign Suh as an interior force after tendering the largest free-agent contract -- six years for $114 million with $60 million guaranteed -- for a defensive player in league history. Tannenbaum wants him to help mentor young defensive linemen like Jordan Phillips and Terrence Fede in the same way Suh was groomed by fellow defensive lineman and University of Nebraska alumnus Kyle Vanden Bosch after being drafted by Detroit.

"In a (salary) cap system when you're paying somebody the way we're paying him, he has to impact others for this deal to make sense," Tannebaum said. "He had talked about earlier in his career how Kyle had impacted him.

"I challenged him. I said, 'Look, 10 years from now it could be Terrence or Jordan. When they're talking about the career they're having, I want them talking about the way you impacted them in the same way you talk about the way Vanden Bosch impacted you."

Suh admits he isn't a demonstrative type of leader. Instead, Suh jokingly says he stole Vanden Bosch's "soup-and-nuts" style and "put my own twist on it."

"At the end of the day, leadership can be seen in many different ways," Suh said. "I'm the type of person who likes to lead with my actions and the way I do things in life. Doing it the right way -- the non-easy way -- is usually the way to go about it.

"I'm more the type of guy who's going to pull somebody aside, have a conversation with him and tell them my experience."
