Highlights
An All-America defensive tackle at the University of Miami, Warren Sapp was a first-round draft choice - 12th overall - of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995 and became a foundation for the franchise¿s rise from laughingstock to championship contender.

An All-America defensive tackle at the University of Miami, Warren Sapp was a first-round draft choice - 12th overall - of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995 and became a foundation for the franchise¿s rise from laughingstock to championship contender. Sapp was voted to seven straight Pro Bowls as a defensive tackle, and for a three- or four-year stretch was arguably the most feared defensive lineman in the game. In 1999, Sapp was voted NFL Defensive Player of the Year as the Bucs reached the NFC Championship Game for the first time in 20 years. The next season, he finished with 16½ sacks, an incredibly high number for a player rushing from the inside, especially drawing two, sometimes three blockers. Sapp won a Super Bowl title with the Bucs in ¿02 and in March ¿04 signed a free-agent deal with the Oakland Raiders. His career will be remembered as much for his great football, as for his insightful sound bytes and oftentimes boorish behavior and rude treatment of people.
