Kapp, an undrafted wide receiver from Division II Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, participated in the Jets’ rookie talent show, which was featured on the latest episode of Hard Knocks.

Kapp did his best Marshall Mathers impression with his performance of Eminem’s winning freestyle in the final rap battle of 8 Mile.

With a grey hoodie over his head as an homage to Eminem’s B-Rabbit in the film, Kapp brought his teammates to their feet with his rendition of the rap.

Even Aaron Rodgers found himself standing up and cheering for the undrafted rookie.
