Widely considered to be an elite pass-rushing talent, Myles Garrett has all but solidified his place atop the boards of most, if not all, of the draft community.
A certain Hall of Fame defensive lineman doesn't seem to be hopping on the bandwagon.
Warren Sapp came out of the woodwork Sunday to blast the presumed No. 1 overall pick and offer up a late hot take about Garrett's game.
"I don't see it from this kid," Sapp said, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "I see the splash plays - everybody gets those. Where's the game he took over? Where? Any defensive lineman who's the No. 1 pick, you turn up and you say, 'There it is!' This kid, no, I don't. I'm a pretty plain and frank guy, and I watch the tape and he disappears. I watch the tape and he absolutely disappears."
Sapp went on to suggest that the hype surrounding Garrett is about measurables, and thus his perceived potential, more so than what he's actually proven capable of doing on the football field.
He questions how important the game of football is to the former Texas A&M star and says the dominance many others have seen is merely a matter of flashes.
"I see a lazy kid that makes four plays a game," Sapp said. "This is the No. 1 guy? No, no, no. This ain't even close."
Despite playing through injury in 2016, Garrett posted 8.5 sacks, giving him a total of 31 across his three seasons in the SEC. That number is good for second in conference history, behind only fellow draft prospect Derek Barnett.
Barring the surprise selection of a quarterback, the majority of the football world is expecting the Cleveland Browns to go with Garrett as a potential defensive cornerstone at No. 1 overall.
Proving the outspoken Sapp wrong should give him a little extra motivation as he begins his NFL career.
