Is it the camera illusion or does Taylor Rapp look bulked up?

He should have bulked up some, it’s the off season.
 
I expect Rapp to compete for the starting SS job now that Johnson is gone. Seems like when he got hurt before the season he didn't come back and reclaim his spot. He showed a lot of promise his rookie season. Hopefully he'll step up in year 3. That is when the light goes on for a lot of 3rd year players.

He really excelled playing close to the line in that hybrid S/LB role.
I expect Fuller, Burgess and Rapp to be on the field together a fair amount.
 
He looks bulked up here...

Rapp has definitely bulked up. Good for him. He is going to compete for play closer to the line. Let the competition begin.
 
He looks the same to me, Rapp appears to keep himself in great shape all year round. I just hope he can stay healthy, I think he can be a great player for us.

Rapp has always had a good nose for the ball and isn’t shy when it comes to tackling. He should bulk up and he should be used more as a hybrid DB/LB. Closer to the LOS or in the box is where he’s best.

Was a huge fan of Rapp when we drafted him. Nothing has changed my opinion. He had a nagging injury, but I think he's better in coverage than people think. Yeah, he'll be used as a hybrid, but he'll be able to blanket running backs and when he hits a guy, they stay down.
