Suitor was a second round pick (tenth overall) by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 1984 CFL college draft. Suitor joined the Riders for the 1984 season, and spent his entire 12 year career with the green and white, including being a key player in the Rider 1989 Grey Cup win which was only the second in franchise history. He was a four time West All-Star (1989, 1991, 1992, 1993) and a three time CFL All-Star (1991, 1992 and 1993) at safety. There have been some great safeties in Roughrider history, but Suitor's name ranks up there at or near the top of the list. He recoreded 51 career interceptions with at least one in every season he played and a career high of 8 in 1991. In 1987, Suitor ran two interceptions back for touchdowns. Suitor was also a highly durable player, not missing a single game in his entire CFL career. Suitor retired afte the 1995 season and since then has made his mark as a color commentor, doing CFL games for TSN.
