A devastating edge rusher coming all the way up from Louisiana, Robert Chapman has one of the highest ceilings of any defender I saw at the Rize. Arguably the fastest defensive lineman in attendance, Robert has the the speed and quickness of a wide receiver, beating lineman off the ball with ease. He is elusive in his pass rush as well; with active hands Robert can utilize a wide variety of hand moves to break from the lineman’s grip. Adding on muscle over these next few seasons will only elevate Robert to elite status.

There is no coincidence that Robert Champman showed one of the more advanced, skilled moves on the day. Showcasing a rare ability to bend and get low, I watched as Chapman sped rush the corner, dipped his shoulder, and got through clean and untouched. Why this comes as no surprise? Chapman is the son of a former NFLer, thus reinforcing the adage that the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Robert Chapman – a Louisiana-based prospect with NFL DNA. I applaud him for testing his skills against offensive tackle prospects who both outweighed and out-height him. 100+ pound differential, yet Chapman was still able to win a few reps, which you can see in the video above. Love the kid’s toughness and attitude. With further development and a few more pounds added to his frame, he could become a speed-dominant edge rusher who ranks well on our Louisiana site. We as a company express gratitude for him and his family coming through the event. A name to know down south.

Robert Chapman is a top-notch edge player out of the 2030 class in the state of Louisiana. Chapman has an uncanny ability to rush the passer and stop the run as well. He has the ability to use athletic ability and strength to his advantage. He’s a high-level player who will be making big plays for a long time to come in the game of football. He is going to be a major force at the “RIZE” in New Jersey for sure. It’s a must you keep eyes on him because there are some ultra-talented guys in the trenches heading to New Jersey for the “RIZE” so it should be an awesome showcase all-around for those positions. However, do not be surprised if edge player Robert Chapman is one of the standout players during this top tier event!
