Rodriguez (6’1/231) is a hyper-productive tackling machine who piled up 128 stops in 2025 after posting 127 the year prior. He pairs prodigious volume with consistent disruption (11 TFL, seven forced fumbles across his final two years). He consistently finds the football with sharp key-and-diagnose ability, reflected in 70 run stops in 2025 and 141 over his career, while his 225 total tackles and 15.1 percent missed tackle rate underscore both his range and occasional over-aggression. Rodriguez adds impact in coverage with four interceptions and six PBUs in 2025, limiting explosive damage and flashing playmaking ball skills. As a blitzer, Rodriguez generated 22 pressures in 2024 and remained a situational disruptor in 2025, using timing and urgency rather than pure twitch to affect the pocket. His 9.61 RAS highlights a rare athletic profile for the position, with 4.57 speed and outstanding agility testing (6.90 three-cone) translating to sideline-to-sideline range and fluid coverage mobility. Rodriguez projects as a high-volume, instinct-driven MIKE linebacker whose production, takeaways and leadership traits should offset occasional false steps and play-strength concerns versus NFL size, giving him clear three-down starter upside.
