Rex Ryan will not be providing any bulletin board material this week as the Jets prepare to take on the Detroit Lions.
While describing Detroit Lions star Ndamukong Suh, Ryan said he was closest thing to Warren Sapp currently playing in the NFL.
“Suh is probably the version now of Warren Sapp,” Ryan said on a conference call with Detroit media Wednesday. “He’s probably as close to Warren Sapp as I’ve seen.”
Sapp probably wouldn’t agree with the comparison, and has ripped Suh on several occasions. Ryan spoke in high regard about the soon to be free agent.
“[Sapp’s] a Hall of Famer. Again, it doesn’t get much higher than that,” Ryan said. “This kid [Suh] is fun to watch. He’s got an excellent motor, and he’s got skills. He has unusual balance. He’s not off his feet, he’s able to play with power, he’s able to play with finesse, and it’s just a rare combination.
“He’s a guy that’s obviously a difference-maker.”
