Rams safety Taylor Rapp is coming off a rather impressive debut season in the NFL. The 2019 second-round picked racked up 100 tackles, intercepted two passes and defended another eight.
As impressive as last year was for Rapp, he’s already added a far more impressive feat to his resume in 2020. On Sunday, the 22-year-old attempted completed the #10kCalorieChallenge.
No, he did not consume 10,000 calories. That’s something I could have done. Instead, he BURNED 10,000 calories with one day-long workout that included biking, running and swimming. I’m exhausted after just reading all of the things Rapp did during his Sunday.
Check it out…
Yesterday I attempted a challenge where you try to burn 10,000 calories in one day.
125 miles biking (103 in one ride), 1.25 miles swimming, 4 miles hiking, 3 miles running, a short workout, and 7,300 feet of elevation later, #10kcaloriechallenge completed ✅ 4:30 AM-9:09 PM pic.twitter.com/m79izSZdaC

I don’t think I’ve moved that much during this whole quarantine thing. This is ridiculously impressive and I wouldn’t recommend doing it unless, like Rapp, you are also a professional athlete. In that case, have fun!
Rapp is a hard-hitting safety who needs all the mass he can get, so I don’t know if the Rams are going to be thrilled with their player doing an intense workout like this. And I don’t know how healthy it is to burn that many calories in such a short period of time. But I’m also writing this blog from my bed and I’m trying to finish it quickly so I can get back to the bowl of mac and cheese I just heated up in the microwave. So what do I know?
Good job, Taylor.
