Benjamin Sapp III:
Strengths:
· He seems to have an edge to himself. As unfair as injuries have been to him, he still works hard and has a mental toughness to him.
· Not afraid to be physical: a few of his clips show him not afraid to hit and by physical with opponents.
· Understanding of concepts. The first highlight of his film is him playing Cover 2 corner where the second receiver runs an arrow to the flats, and Sapp flattens him. His dad was a professional corner, so he has been taught concepts.
Weaknesses:
· Injury history. Unfortunately, I have to put this here. We all know about his injury history, and hopefully it is all behind him.
· Playing experience. Piggybacking off the above bulletin, he hasn’t played a ton of football in the past few years. He only played two games this year, and while he looked good, he still will have to adjust to Big Ten football.
Sapp is another relative unknown just because there isn’t a ton of film on him, with only two games worth of film from the past few years. While he showed some promise and had nice highlights, there isn’t a large sample to review from. We all hope that the injuries are behind him, and he can focus on getting his body in the best shape possible to become a contributor for Minnesota down the road.
