This I will bet on--Rapp will not be a linebacker. He's a safety. It wastes a good safety to put him at LB. Rapp has superlative skills for safety, why waste those. Plus he's not even as big as Barron was. They moved Barron to LB because he lacked the very kinds of skills at safety Rapp has in abundance.
They made no move to supplant Kiser from the MIKE spot (which is basically a 2-down role) and so odds are they like him and he plays there. Littleton is the MO or coverage LB, taking Barron's place.
Rapp supposedly plays faster than the 4.7 he ran . . . but sometimes that could be one of those things people say. A 4.7 is a 4.7 because he knows where he's supposed to go. So eventually he may take Weddle's spot, but if Johnson and Weddle are the safeties then Rapp cannot play there.
So, if is plays as a rookie it would only be in passing situations...unless he plays LBer.
I don't put stock in people saying anything for sure...I put a post up for discussion and I even forgot about Coleman. But I don't buy fans saying "He won't do this" or "I bet on that".
okay, maybe, maybe not. I will wait and see.
