I guess Warren's stock has fallen so far, he may not be considered an actual person by some....but he IS a HOF'er...
No, read my comment again. Warren Sapp is considered a person who hasn't actually watched Garrett. That is pretty clear. Enough said:
"Appearing on the
Dan Patrick Show Tuesday, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah said, "I haven't talked to one personnel guy that has an issue with Myles Garrett and his effort."
This topic has gotten recent media attention, likely in a plot from a team trying to somehow scare the Browns off Garrett at No. 1 overall. Ex-NFL Network "talent" Warren Sapp added fuel to it by calling out Garrett for being "lazy". ESPN's Todd McShay ripped Sapp's evaluation on Tuesday, and some have questioned if Sapp has ever even seen Garrett play a snap. We doubt it."
Sapp's a blowhard.
Ooooh, found a real, live regular person...LOL

this is an interesting take...it says he was decent vs Tennessee... but awful vs LSU....Maybe the caliber of RB's he faced played a role. It's an interesting read.
You have successfully proven that if you put enough scouts together, you're going to find one contrarian. "I’m still of the mind set Watson is ours #1 overall." Loooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
Champ, take the time to watch himself for yourself rather than relying on people like Sapp.
Just to demonstrate my point, in Bob McGinn's article from 2014, all the scouts had stellar things to say about Aaron Donald except this one guy:
"His speed is rare, and I can't stand him," a third scout said. "A 6-foot, 280-pound DT ... who's he going to beat in our league? I think the media has created this guy. Listen. He makes some plays, but our game is not built for him. I like him as a college player, but I don't see him on our team making a difference."
There's always some guy who has a contrary opinion. When the vast majority of people agree that Myles Garrett doesn't have effort issues, you probably shouldn't be relying on the handful that do. In fact, there actually was a guy who claimed that Aaron fucking Donald had effort issues coming out of Pitt:
http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/3/4/5456006/the-notebook-aaron-donald-master-of-technique
"Donald would, in many ways, be a perfect fit for the Cowboys. With last year's three technique, Jason Hatcher, likely leaving via free agency, Donald would fill an immediate need. If he lasts until the 16th pick, he will likely be the best player available, anyway.
Even with his questionable effort at times, I have to think Marinelli will see a lot of Geno Atkins in Donald and pound the table for the Cowboys to take him so that Donald can be a cornerstone for a new foundation after the defense's wretched performance last season under Monte Kiffin.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that Donald should not drop that far.
Even with the intermittent effort issues, this guy plays at a level, technique-wise, that I haven't seen from a college defensive lineman in the last decade. Yes, I'm including Atkins, Gerald McCoy, Ndamukong Suh, Marcell Dareus, Nick Fairley and anybody else you can name. None of them had what this kid has at that point in their football lives."
The author of that article,
Stephen White, played DL in the NFL for six or seven years.
Like I said, if you get enough people together, you can always find one or two people with a contrary opinion on anything. If even Aaron Donald can't escape people questioning his effort, nobody can.
