The Rams often run a two-high safety system that incorporates both quarters and Cover 2 looks, with safeties playing interchangeable roles near the line of scrimmage and deep.
Immediate starter as a Strong Safety, eventually developing into an elite, versatile safety capable of playing multiple roles within the defense.
Pure single-high free safety systems where his coverage range and fluidity would be exposed.
Rapp projects best as a strong safety capable of playing in the box and covering tight ends and running backs in short to intermediate zones.
Selected #61 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Los Angeles Rams out of Washington.
