Jets rookie receives praise from Eminem after tribute to legendary rapper on ‘Hard Knocks’ becomes a sensation

New York Jets undrafted rookie wide receiver Jerome Kapp instantly rose to fame after he showcased his incredible talent during the rookie talent show. He astounded the audience with his rendition of Eminem’s iconic “8 Mile” freestyle, a moment that was captured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” Notably, even Eminem himself expressed his admiration for Kapp’s performance.

Eminem, also known as “B Rabbit” in the film, acknowledged Kapp’s resemblance to him by donning a hood and beanie combination. On social media, Eminem shared a video of Kapp’s rap, captioning it with a simple salute emoji while mentioning Kapp, HBO, and the NFL.

The rookie talent show always brings excitement to training camp, as veterans eagerly anticipate the unique talents displayed by each rookie. However, Kapp stole the show with his remarkable performance. Known players like Aaron Rodgers and C.J. Mosley joined in giving him a standing ovation, particularly impressed by the section where Kapp flawlessly delivered an a cappella segment that mirrored Eminem’s character in the film.

Kapp, a 24-year-old Division II standout from Kutztown University, introduced himself to the crowd by mentioning his name and highlighting that he did not receive a signing bonus. Throughout training camp, he has shown great promise. Although Kapp has only made one catch in the Jets’ preseason games so far, he still has an opportunity to showcase his skills in their upcoming game against the Giants. The coaching staff will assess his performance before making roster cutdowns next week.

Regardless of whether Kapp secures a spot on the Jets’ roster, he has already gained the support of one of the most legendary rappers in history. Eminem’s endorsement speaks volumes about Kapp’s talent and potential in the NFL.
