At the NFFC event this weekend, we caught up with Charles Tapper who had a long first year in the National Football League, spending his entire rookie season on injured reserve. After being out of football for a year, training camp can’t come soon enough for the pass rusher. When asked about his goals, they were pretty simple ones for now:
“Right now, I just want to go out there and play. I want to make plays in training camp because if you don’t make plays in training camp, it just defeats the purpose.”
Tapper was diagnosed with a pre-existing back injury known as a pars defect which is a defect or stress fracture in your vertebrae.
