Warren Sapp was a very entertaining guy to watch as a player throughout his NFL career. As an analyst for NFL Network, he has remained just as entertaining, but maybe a bit out there.
The former sack artist has made some bold statements in his day and the latest might give fans in Cleveland something to cheer about. You know, when they're not busy cheering for anything against LeBron James.
Here's what Sapp said about the Cleveland Browns and their chances of being the next team to win their first Super Bowl on NFL Total Access:
"They have a quarterback now, they have a running back -- in (Trent) Richardson and (Brandon) Weeden -- this is what you need to jump-start your franchise. There's no more fumbling on the 1-yard line, there's no more 'Drive' for you to cry over. ... It's the Cleveland Browns. They'll be next."
The Browns franchise has endured more failure than most teams have since rejoining the league in 1999. In that year's draft, they chose Tim Couch with the No. 1 overall pick. In 2007, Derek Anderson threw for 29 touchdowns. Neither turned out the be the answer. Couch ended up getting hurt after being sacked 56 times his rookie season. Anderson, well, we're not quite sure what happened to him.
Calling Weeden, a 28-year-old rookie, the answer at quarterback is a bold statement. Saying he will lead them to a Super Bowl soon is something totally different.
Let's also consider the fact that Weeden will have Ray Lewis and Troy Polamalu chasing him around a combined four games this season. Just ask Colt McCoy how much fun that is.
