Rams rookie safety Taylor Rapp wants to 'show that Asians can play'

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Standing next to his veteran Los Angeles Rams teammates, Taylor Rapp blends right in.

The rookie safety's No. 24 jersey fits snug across his broad shoulders. Listed at 208 pounds, Rapp fills out every bit of his 6-foot frame.

But a look at his leg reveals a distinguishing mark.

Tattooed on Rapp's right calf is a large mural of two young boys, walking hand-in-hand, along a path through Husky Stadium at the University of Washington and toward the Space Needle in Seattle. Mount Rainier serves as a backdrop.
