Guest Need4Sheed Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Ricky Sapp played “the bandit” position at Clemson. It is a hybrid position, part linebacker, part end, created by defensive coordinator Vic Koenning. The bandit usually rushes the passer, but he also drops into coverage at times. It is a role that requires a skillful athlete and Sapp, although he was hampered by injuries in 2008, played it well. I projected Sapp as a second-round pick so I was very surprised to see his name still on the board in round five. The Eagles made a smart move, taking him at No. 134. Sapp has been compared to DeMarcus Ware, the Pro Bowl linebacker of the Dallas Cowboys. They are similar in size and play a similar game, using speed to rush the passer and chase down ball carriers. link Edited April 27, 2010 by Need4Sheed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Absolutely. I really wanted Miami or GB to go after him because he could play in either defense effectively. Awesome pickup. It'll be interesting this year at Clemson to see how DaQuan Bowers plays without Sapp on the other side of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great iBoldin Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 No, he's not. Barely average production and all hype. He's what Marvin Austin will be this year. Where he got picked is where he deserved to be picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
