I agree that Sapp isn't the best source.
It says he owes some $6.7 million to creditors and for back child support.
It is possible, however, that his D-line experience enables to see some things about Garrett that could be right.
My main theme of Will and mental toughness may apply to a player that I have been not so high on until more recently.
That player is Derek Barnett.
I didn't like his forty time and his being only 6 foot 3 inches tall and 259 pounds.
A comparison was made by someone on NFL Network to Terrell Suggs who ran a forty that was close to Barnett's time and is 6 foot 3 and 265 pounds. If he ends up being anything like Suggs he will be well worth the pick.
Barnett has a reputation of being high motor and relentless.
For this reason I am starting to warm up to the idea of the Bengals taking him a lot more than I had.
It is possible that Derek Barnett has more Will to play through exhaustion than Myles Garrett does.
