The NFL fined Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh $7,500 on Friday for his roughing-the-passer penalty on Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme in a preseason game.

 

Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in April's draft, grabbed Delhomme's face mask and twisted it, then wrapped his arms around the quarterback's head and slammed him to the ground during the second quarter of last Saturday's game.

 

Suh later said he didn't know Delhomme had thrown the ball before he hit him.

 

"I was just going after the ball, and I had no clue that he had gotten rid of it," he said.

 

Delhomme got up waving his arms in protest, and Suh was assessed a 15-yard penalty.
