I guess I'm not dreaming, I guess it's really happening,'' LeBeau said during a conference call Tuesday. "I have a strong sense of history, and that's the largest impact it has on me. I'll be part of NFL history forever ... that's what makes me shake my head a little bit.
"It's 10,000 dreams come true and I just count my blessings every day.''
LeBeau played for 14 years in the NFL and then spent the next 37 years as a coach in the league. He recently was elected to the Hall of Fame as a candidate from the Senior Committee.
In response to a question about Pro Bowl cornerback Troy Polamula calling LeBeau the greatest coach of all time, LeBeau said, "It's probably been the most humbling experience of my career -- the way my players talk about me. It's absolutely the highest compliment that's been paid to me, how these men respond and talk about me.
However, Suh is the only player taken in the top five who is not represented by agent Tom Condon's firm. It would seem to make sense for Parker to wait for the contracts to come in for No. 1 pick Sam Bradford and No. 3 pick Gerald McCoy and then slot Suh in the middle. It wouldn't look good for Parker if McCoy, who plays the same defensive tackle position as Suh, to come up with a better contract. That could be very damaging for Parker as he tries to recruits rookies in the years to come.
The Rams, meanwhile, have indicated they hope to get Bradford signed before their camp opens on Thursday, another sign that any potential holdout by Suh would be a short one.
