Warren Sapp helps coach up Bucs’ defensive line at OTAs

Hall of Famer Warren Sapp lent a hand during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ recent practices

If you want to learn a thing or two about being a dominant defensive lineman in the NFL, you might as well look to somebody who has a gold jacket for doing just that.

Those in attendance at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organized team activities this week got some hands-on help from one of the greatest to ever wear a Bucs jersey, as Hall of Famer Warren Sapp lent a hand to the defensive coaching staff.

“[Warren Sapp and I] have a good relationship, and we wanted to bring him in to teach the [defensive] line a few things,” Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said. “Coach [Kacy] Rodgers and Coach ‘Lo’ (Lori Locust) were all for it. So, I thought it would be a good idea to learn from a guy that’s done it recently, or more recently than the coaches have, and it would be good for the guys to hear and see a different perspective.”

Tampa Bay’s all-time franchise leader with 77 career sacks, Sapp has been a regular visitor to Bucs practices over the years, remaining close to the franchise he helped lead to their first Lombardi Trophy back in 2002.
