Sapp was freakishly strong and quick. I am not sure what the **** you are talking about.

Several plays show Sapp was elite athlete

Here the Bucs say that Sapp was one of the top 5 athletes on their team.

His bench press was reportedly around 525+ lbs.

Agree 100%

Some forget that he came here as a TE.

Sapp was an exceptional athlete make no mistake about that
 
You can't teach desire. A couple plays that I remember about WS showed the tools he had to couple with his elite level desire to dominate. First one was I think the 95 Orange bowl, Sapp makes a tackle deep in the backfield.. he pushes the center into the qb/rb exchange and tackles all three. That's pure power. Then some years later when he's with the bucs, Barry Sanders does one of his 'make everybody look silly' runs of about 60 yards. When Sanders crosses the goal line, there's Sapp right behind him trying to hawk him down. Sapp's not jog chasing the play, he's straight up booking downfield after Sanders. That's a 300 pound dude trying to make a hustle play 60 yards downfield. That's pure speed, hustle, and desire. Say what you want about him off field, but on the field he was beyond elite.

His best assets were quickness and explosion off the ball. With the Bucs he'd be in the gap before some O-lineman would take a step. At a game in TB saw him shoot the gap for some big loses. Then the next series, the Offense guessed right and busted off a 45 yard run over the place he had vacated - no one was home, so he may have been ad-libbing

Erickson was quoted as saying numerous times...that he had to stop practice on several occasions, & take Sapp out, so that the Offense could move the ball past the LOS....

Back in the day , I was a Sr at SW and Tony Chickilo ( the old Tony father not his son played at the U ) was Fr many times coach Skeans had to pull us both out of D-line so O can try and run some resemblance of an O play.

Sorry to throw this in but brought back some fond glory day memories .

Boy Tony was a freak beast we used to laugh at offenses having to deal with us to ... Tony shear beast no doubt.

What I personally witnessed Sapp do against Nebraska in 95 for 3 qtrs, I'll NEVER forget...until he was so exhausted he barely could breathe in the last 4mins of the game....If I remember correctly..we had numerous DL injuries...Lang...Johnson and Riley either didn't play...or weren't 100%....Add to the fact Costa missing Jonathon Harris twice...streaking down the field WIDE open (by 10yds)...both SEVERELY underthrown.

Sapp is about 6'2 and probably had the best get off for a dt seen until recently with the Pitt kid with the rams.

Really no tools , big belly , no upper body strength ( bench press).

Buddies at work towards the 5:00 closing started talking Canes and I asked.

How can a 6’ 300 no shape no six pack no 22” python arms big belly.

TOTALLY DOMINATE A GAME AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANY OLINE AND BE UNSTOPPABLE ..PERIOD.

Then another kids chipped out of marble ungodly strength and speed can’t even come close to SAPP type players with no tools.

This was amazing even through the NFL .

Just figured I’d share with you all, haven’t you tried to figure it out ever to make sense?
