STM Take
A ring-winning safety whose play swings with the fit.
The case for
- Super Bowl LVI ring plus 2024 tier 4 (#26) STTM peak with the Bills puts him in the rare championship-pedigree S career résumé class.
- Washington Pac-12 2nd-round origin plus seven years of NFL development gives him real veteran market value.
The worry
- 37-spot regression from tier 4 (#26) in 2024 to tier 8 (#63) in 2025 confirms the ceiling is highly team-fit dependent.
- Buffalo's cap structure around Josh Allen's QB contract limits the extension runway if the structural ceiling caps below the expected outcome.
What to watch: Whether Rapp returns to tier 6 (top 50) in 2026 with the Bills, the threshold for confirming the 2024 ceiling can be recaptured.
Full take and bio
Super Bowl LVI ring plus 2024 tier 4 (#26) STTM peak with the Bills puts Rapp in the rare championship-pedigree S career résumé class. The 37-spot regression from tier 4 (#26) in 2024 to tier 8 (#63) in 2025 confirms the structural ceiling is highly team-fit dependent. The 2026 question is whether Rapp returns to tier 5-6 territory or whether the structural mid-career instability closes the chapter.
Rapp came out of Washington as the Los Angeles Rams' 2nd-round pick (61st overall) in 2019 and won Super Bowl LVI with the Rams. He has bounced through the Rams, Bills, and back to Buffalo across seven NFL seasons. His STTM career runs tier 7 (#53) in 2021, tier 5 (#40) in 2022, tier 8 (#71) in 2023, tier 4 (#26) in 2024, and tier 8 (#63) collapse in 2025.
