This is just what I think about Rapp. He's a safety. He would not only be wasted at LB, he would be killed there...he doesn't have the frame for it.
That guy from Cardinals, Barron, lots of safeties play linebacker, even in base. If Barron could do it Rapp can do it.
Barron did it because he was a good player who could not play safety. Rapp can.
Barron was 6'1, 213 when drafted and at LB went up to 230.
Rapp is more like 5'11 though he's listed at 6'0, and is 208. I doubt he could get to 230. But either way he isn't the same kind of physical guy Barron was. He's a great tackler but is not the pure physical intimidator Barron was.
Anyway, I wasn't disputing that sometimes DBs become LBs in 3/4 defenses. I was just saying I don't think Rapp will. And he will see time on the field. Christian and Countess combined had 406 defensive snaps in 2018. They play nickel and dime subpackages more than they play base D.
