Scouting Report: Cecil Sapp

Cecil Sapp

Posted Oct 3, 2002


Always known as one that had tremendous innate skills, Cecil Sapp's career at Colorado State has been characterized by injury and sharing the ball in the Ram backfield. He's off to a blistering start this season and the 2002 campaign is pushing Sapp into the early reaches of the draft's first day.

Full Name:    Cecil Sapp                 School:    Colorado St

Ht:  5-10           Wt   228           40   4.57

Year: 5Sr             Number    32

Stats/ Bio:  

2001: Did not compete after a benign tumor on his right heel was surgically removed. 

2000: All-MWC pick rushing for 151/841/5.6/10 with four 100-yard rushing games then capped it off against Louisville in the Liberty Bowl with 36/160/4.4/1.  Spilt time as a starter most of the season.

Scouting Report:

The Good:  Big, powerful ball carrier with terrific overall running skills.  Displays vision, seeing the field and finding the hole, weaves his way through the traffic, getting to the open spot on the field and picking up positive yardage.  Displays wiggle and some shake-n-bake in a small area and sets up defenders, making them miss.  Strong enough to redirect off the initial hit, gain yardage after initial contact and tough to knock off his feet.  Plays a fast game for a bigger back, exploding through the hole, running well in  the open.   

The Bad: Because of injuries and depth at the position has only one complete season under his belt.  Not used much as a receiver out of the backfield.  

The Skinny:  Showed us a lot of skill var addthis_config = { services_exclude: "twitter,facebook,blogger,email,print" }; var addthis_share = { url: location.href, title: $("#story-title").html(), content: $("#story-deck").html(), templates: { twitter: "RT @ScoutMedia {{title}} {{url}}", blogger: '
