Executive Summary
Jacob Rodriguez is a thumping, instinctive linebacker who projects best as a two-down run-stopping force at the next level. His physical tools and motor make him a high-value depth piece with upside as a starter in the right system.
⚠ Risk Factors
Coverage ability is a legitimate question — Rodriguez struggled against quick, elusive backs out of the backfield and was not regularly asked to cover tight ends in college. Teams will likely deploy him as a two-down specialist until his coverage develops.
