The connection with John Spytek and Alex Cappa is undeniable.
Spytek was part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers front office that made Cappa — a Division II small-school product out of Humboldt State (now Cal Poly Humboldt) — a third-round pick (94th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft.
(Full disclosure: I’m a Humboldt alumni myself and covered Cappa during his time with the Lumberjacks football team.)
Cappa was an integral part of the Bucs offensive line that protected quarterback Tom Brady and while he missed Tampa’s Super Bowl LV victory due to a fractured ankle, the 6-foot-6 and 312-pounder was a mainstay up front.
