Warren Sapp

NFL Analyst 

Seven-time Pro Bowler, and Future Hall of Famer, Warren Sapp currently serves as analyst for Inside the NFL on SHOWTIME, alongside Phil Simms, Cris Collinsworth and James Brown on the long-running, award-winning program.

Sapp also serves as studio analyst for the NFL Network on Game Day Morning, alongside Spero Dedes, Steve Mariucci, Marshall Falk and Michael Irvin and is a regular contributor on NFL Total Access. The charismatic and loquacious Sapp previously served as guest analyst on CBS Sports' NFL pre-game show, The NFL Today.

One of the best defensive linemen in NFL history, Warren Sapp has been intimidating opposing quarterbacks and lineman since the first time he put pads on. Sapp's 96.5 career sacks are the second-highest for a defensive tackle.

The Plymouth, Fla. native has collected some of the football's highest honors and accolades in his extensive 13-year playing career including the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, NFL 1990s & 2000s All-Decade Teams and Florida High School Association All-Century Team.

A standout on both sides of the ball while playing at Apopka High School, Sapp was a highly recruited prep star. He signed with the then dominant University of Miami, where he focused on defense and quickly became one of the best linemen in the nation. In 1994, his last season with the Hurricanes, Sapp won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Chuck Bednarik Award as the nation's best defensive player, and the Lombardi Award for best lineman or linebacker.

In the 1995 NFL Draft, Sapp was chosen 12th overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It took him just two years to be named to his first Pro Bowl in 1997, the first of seven straight selections. He was named Defensive Player of the Year (1999), NFL All Decade Team and recorded 77 sacks, the second highest in team history.

In 2002, Sapp led the Buccaneers-as the league's top defensive team-to capture the NFC South Title with the best record in team history (12-4). The Bucs went on to defeat the Oakland Raiders, the nation's top offensive team, by a score of 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.

In 2004, Sapp signed with the Oakland Raiders. After a down year in '04 and an injury plagued season in '05, Sapp returned to his All-Pro form in 2006. Sapp played one more season with the Raiders in '07 before announcing his retirement on Jan. 4, 2008.

In 2009, Sapp filmed his first movie playing Forrest Whitaker's brother in the movie Family Wedding. Warren joined one of the most successful shows currently on television, Dancing With The Stars. Twirling and dancing his way past the competition, Warren and partner Kym Johnson outlasted all but one team, giving Warren the title of runner-up for his efforts.

After his successful stint on DWTS, America got to see yet another side of Warren, as he was chosen to contribute to Comedy Central's Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. Sapp was also the co-host of ABC's Superstars in 2009.

Sapp currently resides in Hollywood, FL and Hollywood, CA.
