Buffalo Bills' All-Pro defensive back Taron Johnson is witnessing a new leader emerge.
After making the victory-clinching interception in the regular season finale against Miami, Rapp was unavailable for the next two games due to a calf injury and it was more than noticeable."I like how T Rapp is leading those safeties," said starting slot cornerback Taron Johnson. "He's a quiet, reserved kind of guy, but I hear him being more vocal and just making sure that everybody is having the knowledge that they need to have to perform at a high level.
Thus far, Rapp's prior experience, including his one season with the Bills, is paying dividends with multiple new safeties in the mix. "He's played a lot of ball. He's been here. He knows the system a little bit better than everybody else. Guys are watching him. Guys are asking him questions trying to make sure that they can figure it out," said Johnson.Rapp appeared in 16 games last season, making four starts, as the Bills deployed a third safety at times. He accounted for 50 tackles, one fumble recovery and the memorable aforementioned interception.
