I can honestly say that I never bought into the Suh narrative either. There was a small handful of incidents with him, and I know for a fact that players were provoking him and taking advantage of his image. Same goes with Burfict. The NFL does a good job of making these guys poster boys for dirty play, but the truth is that it's a dirty league. The NFL would have people believe the problem is with a very small handful of players. It's not.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
