Marte Mapu has generated a lot of buzz with his play during OTAs, minicamp, and training camp.
The third-round pick from Sacramento State has lined up at linebacker and safety, showing the smarts and playmaking ability to hang at both spots.
The one thing, it seems, training camp observers haven’t seen Mapu do is make tackles. He’s been wearing a red non-contact jersey during the sessions as he recovers from a torn pectoral muscle he injured in February.
According to the New York Sports Medicine Institute, full recovery from a torn pectoral is around six months.
