Sapp Elected To Hall Of Fame

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer defensive tackle, Warren Sapp, was elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013.

Sapp will be inducted on August 3rd in a ceremony in Canton, Ohio. He joins defensive end, Lee Roy Selmon, as Hall of Famers who spent the majority of their career with the Buccaneers.

Sapp was drafted in the first round (12th overall) by the Buccaneers in the 1995 NFL draft. He played nine years for the Bucs, playing in 140 games and starting 130, while also starting in nine postseason contests, and helping led the Bucs to the 2002 Super Bowl Championship. Sapp holds the Buccaneers’ single-season sack record, recording 16.5 sacks in 2000. His 96.5 career sacks ranks as the second most by an interior lineman in NFL history.

Named the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Sapp made six All-Pro Teams and seven straight Pro Bowls. He was also voted to both the NFL’s 1990’s and 2000’s All-Decade Team.
