While at Virginia Tech he set, and still holds the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) records for most games scoring a touchdown in a single season (14 games in 2002), and for most consecutive games scoring a touchdown (27 consecutive games, from September 2, 2000 through December 31, 2002; 57 touchdowns).

One of his touchdown runs that day went 78 yards long. In 2004, Suggs had his best year as a pro, gaining 922 yards from scrimmage in only 10 games. He was unable to play a full season due to several injuries as well as the acquisition of Reuben Droughns.
