I think that it is entirely possible that both Rapp and Burgess might become ‘starters’ in this Staley D next year. Especially considering that JJ might walk.

Think about it. We all know how Staley loves to mix and match his secondary players, including using Rapp as a LB sometimes. And they reportedly love Burgess who could take snaps at S, nickel, or LB whenever Staley so chooses. He’s a veritable Swiss Army knife defender.
