Warren Sapp calls out Pat McAfee’s ‘lies’ after Will Howard scouting combine report: ‘I’ve had enough’

Warren Sapp said he has had enough of Pat McAfee spreading “wild stories” from the NFL Scouting Combine, which took place in Indianapolis last week.

During an appearance on “Thee Pregame Show” on Thursday, the Hall of Famer and current Colorado ᴀssistant coach implored McAfee to “stop the lies” — and specifically called out a story he shared on his ESPN show about Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.

Last Friday, McAfee said his sources told him that Howard was making drop-backs and throwing deep balls around 11 p.m. in a H๏τel parking lot in downtown Indianapolis.

“They want to make a big stink about [Colorado quarterback] Shedeur [Sanders] not throwing [at the combine], but what about the running back not running? What are we talking about here?” Sapp said while discussing players being overly analyzed at the combine, where Sanders was under a microscope. “And then you hear these wild stories about the quarterback from Ohio State out at the parking lot, throwing the ball. Stop it. Just stop it. Stop the fallacy.

“Ain’t nobody out at 11 o’clock throwing no ball in Indianapolis. It’s freezing cold. We’ve all been there in the beginning of February. Ain’t no throwing it outside in no parking lot, Pat McAfee. Stop the lies. C’mon. ‘Well my sources told me, 11 o’clock at night.‘ C’mon man, just stop. Just stop. Just stop. I’ve had enough.”

Sapp added that players getting picked apart at the combine is “the most diabolical thing you can go into.”

Last Friday, McAfee also denied that he’s on Howard’s payroll due to his continual positive coverage of the quarterback, who led Ohio State to a national championship over Notre Dame in January.

“Will Howard is ready to come out here and make a big impression, I believe,” McAfee said. “I have not talked to Will. I’ve not talked to Will’s people. I don’t know them that well. A lot of people are asking like, ‘Hey, Pat, does Will Howard got you guys on the payroll?’ No.

“We just so happened to be at all of these games where he played his best ball. And he’s a big son of a bitch. And when you talk about being big, whenever you talk about having moxie, when you talk about being likable, and whenever you talk about being able to put a ball on a dot, it’s like, is that not what we’re looking for in a quarterback?”

McAfee covered each of Ohio State’s four College Football Playoff games in-person as a part of his Field Pᴀss simulcasts for ESPN.

Howard, who was named the 2025 CFP National Offensive MVP, appeared on McAfee’s show the day after the game.
