The Road to Canton - Warren Sapp: Relentless -- Friday at 8:00 PM ET
Debuting Friday at 8:00 PM ET, The Road to Canton - Warren Sapp: Relentless chronicles the life of Warren Sapp. The one-hour special features footage of Sapp's undeniable talent as a high school standout, his transformation at the University of Miami, and his dominance in the NFL.
Before Sapp was a 300-pound force on the defensive line, the Plymouth, Florida native was a slimmed-down tight end, punter and kicker at Apopka High School. When the future NFL Defensive Player of the Year put on 70 pounds as a freshman at Miami, he changed positions to defensive line and his Hall of Fame career was launched.
Despite being a top NFL prospect, Sapp fell in the 1995 NFL Draft. During the program, Warren Sapp opens up about the experience and mistakes in judgment which caused the fall - including his admittance to marijuana use. His mother, Annie Roberts, reflects on the tumultuous time in her son's life.
Once solidified in the NFL, Sapp developed a fierce rivalry with quarterback Brett Favre. Relentless chronicles the long-standing on-the-field battle which turned into a friendship bonded by mutual admiration.
Relentless features interviews with the most impactful people in Sapp's life:
· Chip Gierke -Warren Sapp's high school football coach
· Derrick Brooks
· John Lynch
· Tony Dungy
· Brett Favre
· Jon Gruden
· Bryan Glazer
· Drew Rosenhaus
