The combine workout confirmed what he put on film at Texas Tech. Rodriguez operated as Vin Diesel in the Red Raiders’ defense. He was fast and often furious.
Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez goes through drills and testing on Thursday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. A replacement became obvious on Thursday. It is easy to see Rodriguez working out after his workout.
He posted a 9.23 Relative Athletic Score, ranking 249th out of the 3,216 linebackers tested from 1987 to 2026.The test confirmed what he put on film at Texas Tech. Rodriguez operated as Vin Diesel in the Red Raiders’ defense. He was fast and often furious. He intercepted four passes, forced seven fumbles and recovered two last season. This is the type of disruptive force the Broncos need. The defense does everything well but secure takeaways, finishing with 14 last season, one more of the fewest in franchise history in 2008.He marries instincts and athleticism. Friendly advice? Draft him. There should be no hesitation if he is on the board with the 30th pick. Before the college football season, Ohio State’s Sonny Styles was projected to land in Denver by several mocks. That dream died with his spectacular season. Rodriguez is a comfortable alternative. And squinting is not necessary to see a vision for him. Sign Singleton to a three-year deal with one-year guaranteed. Let him tutor Rodriguez before the kid takes over in 2027. Given Singleton’s age and Dre Greenlaw’s injury history, there will be plenty of snaps as a rookie for Rodriguez to begin his development, while making an impact on special teams. Last April, cornerback Jahdae Barron was a luxury pick. Rodriguez is a better fit at a position with less depth.Flavor Flav took the bitter taste out of our mouths after President Trump disrespected Team USA’s women’s gold medal hockey team, leading them to decline an invitation to the White House.

His involvement has been criticized because of his criminal record, including domestic abuse charges. But, he has been a longtime supporter of women’s sports, making him a welcome booster for champions who deserved better from the president.The Broncos will make at least one splash in free agency. Running back makes the most sense. If they do not sign Travis Etienne Jr. or Kenneth Walker III, trading for the Lions’ David Montgomery is an option to file away.Fan boys can characterize the departures of defensive coordinator Robert Livingston and Warren Sapp as inevitable, but the timing is awful for CU, days before the start of spring practice.
