Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett will be, by nearly every account, the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft this Thursday.

The former Aggie, who stands 6'4" and weighs 272 pounds, impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine at the end of February and at his pro day a few weeks ago, running a 4.64 40-yard dash and completing 33 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.

However, Hall of Fame defensive lineman Warren Sapp isn't sold on Garrett, and cautioned the Cleveland Browns against picking him No. 1 this week.

According to an ESPN.com story, Sapp said he doesn't think Garrett has the motor and work ethic necessary to be an elite pass rusher in the NFL:

"I see a lazy kid that makes four plays a game," Sapp said. "This is the No. 1 guy? No, no, no. This ain't even close."

Regardless of what Sapp thinks, though, Garrett is still expected to be the No. 1 overall pick when the Browns make their selection on Thursday night in Philadelphia.

Still, it didn't stop the 13-year NFL veteran, who recorded 96.5 career sacks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders, from continuing to question the talented college star:

"I don't see it from this kid," Sapp said about Garrett. "I see the splash plays; everybody gets those. Where's the game he took over? Where? Any defensive lineman who's the No. 1 pick, you turn up and you say, 'There it is!' This kid, no, I don't. I'm a pretty plain and frank guy, and I watch the tape and he disappears. I watch the tape, and he absolutely disappears."

Garrett finished the 2016 season with 8.5 sacks, but 4.5 of those sacks came against one of Texas A&M's worst opponents - UT San Antonio.

Garrett was hampered by a nagging injury, but Sapp has a point when he says there aren't really any games Garrett took over. Against top teams like Alabama, LSU and Tennessee, Garrett only recorded one total sack.

All 32 NFL teams (even the Browns) are filled with some of college football's brightest stars, so there won't be any squads like UT San Antonio for Garrett to put up huge numbers against at the next level.

But, on the other side of the coin, Garrett will have some of the best position coaches and will be able to focus solely on football once he reaches the NFL.

It won't be easy for Garrett to become a star as a pro, but with his raw physical ability (and a little extra motivation to prove Sapp wrong), it's not impossible - even on a team like the 1-15 Browns.
