Warren Sapp explains why he doesnt want

Let no good deed go unpunished, Timmy Jernigan. The Ravens third-year defensive lineman and former Florida St. standout changed his number to 99 to pay tribute to Hall of Famer Warren Sapp. Sapp didn't sound impre sed: how do I stop this?? Warren Sapp ( Baker Mayfield Jersey @WarrenSapp) You might think that it's because Sapp starred at the University of Miami, but it's something much sillier than that. Sapp wasn't happy that Jernigan didn't contact him first.The quick backstory: Jernigan grew up a huge Sapp fan. "I looked up to him," he said recently. "I definitely wanted to model my game after him." Then a mutual friend introduced Sapp and Jernigan, and before the 2014 NFL Draft they exchanged numbers. Odell Beckham Jr. Jersey "I told him before he left for the draft, 'Whatever you need, if you want to work out, do a little bag drills whatever you want, just let me know when you come to South Florida or I'll come to Tampa or wherever you want to meet me at,'" Sapp told on Wednesday. Sapp spoke to Jernigan again shortly after Jernigan fell into the second round, offering him encouragement.So far so good, right? You'd think. "That was the last conversation I had with the young man," Sapp explained. "So for someone to say, 'Hey, I want to pay tribute to someone, and I have their phone number,' I would think you might want to try and call that person and say, 'Hey dawg, I was thinking something' ... You know what I am saying?" To recap: This had nothing to do with Miami or Florida St., and everything to do with calling a guy who once wore No. 99 for a different team to ask him if Austin Corbett Jersey it's OK to wear that same number now. So what would Sapp have told Jernigan if he had called?"Go out and make a name for yourself for you," Sapp said. "Don't go and use a first-ballot defensive tackle that you will now be judged against. Are you kidding me? Who signed up for that?"Meanwhile, Jernigan's NFL career has yet to mirror Sapp's (and maybe that's what has Sapp all Damarious Randall Jersey lathered up); he struggled early last season, even losing his job for three games. But whatever number he wears, the goal is to play with more consistency. " I just have to become that force that I was drafted here to be," Jernigan said recently, via . "I feel like last year I came up a little bit short. I feel like I had a good year, but to my standards I don't think it was enough. I've definitely been busting my butt day in and day out. I'm doing whatever I can just to take it to the next level and get everybody around me to do the same thing."Put another way, Jernigan wants his Sione Takitaki Jersey game to resemble Sapp's. One suggestion: Just make sure you call him about it first.
