Warren Sapp began his legendary Miami football career as a tight end in 1991. By the time Sapp left Miami for the 1995 NFL Draft, he was a dominant defensive tackle who was honored with multiple awards in his final Hurricanes season in 1994.

Warren Sapp continued the incredible legacy of defensive tackles for the Miami football program in the 1980s and early 1990s. Signing with the Hurricanes following the great careers of DTs Jerome Brown, Russell Maryland and Cortez Kennedy in the five years preceding his arrival, Sapp added to the history of great Miami DL.
