WKBW — ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Taylor Rapp, a native of Washington, made his NFL debut in 2019 with the Los Angeles Rams and quickly gained a starting position. When he moved to the Buffalo Bills last season, the Super Bowl champion had to learn to take humility in his new role.
“The year I had previously experienced. Compared to my first four years in the league, it appeared that my role had changed, Taylor Rapp said.
“It was probably the best thing that could have happened to my life, career, and marriage. We grew off the field, as you know.”
Rapp improved as a player and a teammate, and he gave the safety tandem of Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde much of the credit for his advancement.
“I really feel like those two guys are the best teammates I’ve had throughout my whole career.”
With a new defensive back room, Rapp is logically the most seasoned.
After much effort, General Manager Brandon Beane was able to get Rapp to sign a three-year extension.
It’s strange because, even though I’m in my sixth year, I still feel like I was Cole’s rookie when I was in his shoes. Eric Weddle was my rookie year; he was like my personal veterinarian.”
Rapp claims that he has always enjoyed playing with his older brother and his friends.
“I believe that was a major factor in my upbringing because I was always playing up, with older teams, and with guys who were older than me. I believe that had a significant impact on my growth.”
This time, Rapp takes the lead.
“I must accept that. I have to accept that responsibility.”
