Nicki Jhabvala April 29, 2023 NFL. com profile:OverviewRodriguez is a powerful runner, but he lacks the burst and creativity to become anything more than a downhill grinder. He has the size and mentality to do the dirty work between the tackles, but it could be a challenge for him to get to and through the hole quickly in the NFL. He's a physical blitz protector, so teams might envision a role for him as a second-half battering ram and third-down quarterback protector Kamren Curl T-Shirt. StrengthsTwo-time team captain. Thick frame with ability to pick up tough yards. Makes tacklers feel his size at impact. Stays square getting through downhill cuts. Low success rate guaranteed for arm-tacklers. Stays on his feet through heavy angle strikes. Allows lead blockers to do their work. Steps up with force against incoming rushers. WeaknessesBelow-average burst getting through line of scrimmage. Lacks finesse to navigate tight run lanes. Change of direction is heavy. One-speed running style is easy to track for linebackers Jacoby Brissett T-Shirt. Pad level is a little tall as run-finisher. Inconsistent finding assignment versus blitz.
