Is He a Hall of Famer? NFL Edition

Warren Sapp
6'2", 300 lbs, Defensive Tackle College: Miami (FL) 1st round draft pick (12th overall) of the 1995 Draft (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Stats -7 time Pro-Bowler (1997-2003 consecutively)
-6 time All-Pro (1997-2002 consecutively) -1999 Defensive Player of the Year -Super Bowl Champion (XXXVII) -5th on active career sacks list with 96.5, (28th overall) -88th on career games started list (188) -19 career forced fumbles
Argument Against: While Sapp's sack total is impressive, he never led the NFL in sacks in a single season. Sapp can be a negative influence (fined for referee confrontation in 2007) when things aren't going well. He can get heavy at times and lose some of his explosiveness. He was dominant for 7 years consecutively and that was it (except for 10 sacks in 2006 with Oakland). He took 3 of his 4 seasons off in Oakland while playing for a bad team but collecting $33 million (only averaged 32 tackles a season).
