Alex Cappa 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

There are always a few “off the beaten path” prospects who come to the Senior Bowl in an effort to prove they’re draftable. Alex Cappa<\/strong> certainly fits into that category. A four-year starter at Division II Humboldt State in Arcata, CA, Cappa took home the Great Northwest Athletic Conference offensive lineman of the year award each season he played for the Lumberjacks. As a senior, the Associated Press named him to their All-American first team at DII level.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, it’s been a while since an NFL team picked a player from Cappa’s school. You have to go all the way back to 1992 when wide receiver Freeman Baysinger<\/strong> went in the 12th round (333rd overall) to the New England Patriots<\/a>. Amazingly enough, a former Lumberjack player was also drafted in the two previous years. The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> and Minnesota Vikings<\/a> selected linebacker Dave Harper<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(12th round) and defensive tackle Scott Reagan<\/strong>\u00a0(seventh round) in 1990 and 1991 respectively.<\/p>\n

Not only is Cappa in a great position to follow them into the pros. Of the 10 Humboldt State draftees in NFL history thus far, he has a chance to go earlier than them all. That feat currently belongs to Reagan. Either way, Cappa is one of those small-school “diamonds in the rough” generating plenty of intrigue from NFL teams in need of a tackle or a converted guard.<\/p>\n
