A three year starter for the Huskies, Sapp was taken in the third round by Chicago in the 1997 NFL draft. He was released by Chicago, caught on with the Vikings for two years where he played sparingly, then left pro football for what turned out to be a sensational career as a kick boxer, mixed martial arts fighter, and pro wrestler. “The Beast” became wildly popular in Japan and stars in several TV commercials there. He’s also acted and released a CD.A three year starter for the Huskies, Sapp was taken in the third round by Chicago in the 1997 NFL draft.
