After a strong college campaign, Sabbatelli was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. His first season was essentially a red-shirt year as the safety only saw action in three games. In those games, he earned three total tackles.

In 2008, however, he played almost the entire season. In 15 games of action, he started five games and had two interceptions, one of which led to an 84 yard return. He also had 49 combined tackles.

2009 was arguably the best year of his career as he had two interceptions and 80 combined tackles.

After 2009, the safety started slipping. In 2010, he turned out for two teams, playing 11 games for the Buccaneers and five for the Cleveland Browns. He had one interception and 24 combined tackles that season, recording most of them for Tampa Bay.

In 2011, he played in 16 games for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he failed to earn an interception and had 34 combined tackles.

Interestingly, over the course of his entire NFL career, he never earned a sack. Overall, Sabbatelli had 190 tackles and five interceptions during his time in the league, playing in 66 games and starting 22 of them.
