Lee Ernest Suggs, Jr. (born August 11, 1980 in Roanoke, Virginia) is an American football player who currently is a free agent running back in the National Football League.
Prior to entering the NFL, Suggs played for William Fleming High School in Roanoke and later for Virginia Tech. During his 1998 senior year in high school, he rushed for 2,918 yards and 30 touchdowns, capping a prolific high school career and helping boost his ranking among running backs to 4th in the state and 19th in the nation, according to the SuperPrep scouting organization.
He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns out of Virginia Tech with the 18th pick in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He has been unable to play a full season due to several injuries as well as the acquisition of Reuben Droughns by the Cleveland Browns. On Monday, August 14, 2006, Suggs was traded to the New York Jets for defensive back Derrick Strait, but the trade was voided when Suggs failed his physical, and subsequently returned to the Browns. He was subsequently cut by the Browns and claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins on September 3, 2006. However, he was released by the Dolphins on October 10, 2006. Suggs is not currently in the NFL.
