Chris Rodriguez

Rodriguez arrives in Jacksonville carrying some of the stronger efficiency numbers at the position. His YAC/Att ranked at the 97th percentile–second in the NFL–and his success rate (94th percentile) and broken-tackle rate (92nd percentile) round out an impressive profile. The caveat, as with several backs running behind poor offensive lines, is that his YBC/Att ranked at the 5th percentile in Washington, meaning very little of his production came before first contact. Jacksonville didn’t invest heavily in the offensive line this offseason, though the addition of guard Emmanuel Pregnon (99th-percentile run blocker) in the third round should create more holes. The Liam Coen connection is worth noting as context–Rodriguez ran for 1,379 yards and nine touchdowns under Coen at Kentucky in 2021. He had no meaningful receiving work in 2025, which limits his PPR upside in what figures to be a committee with Tuten. He's a legitimate late-round target with a higher floor than his RB37 draft position implies if the Jacksonville run game improves.
