Jacob Rodriguez's Player Profile

Jacob Rodriguez is a physical, sideline?to?sideline linebacker whose profile is built on aggression, tackling ability, and the ability to attack the line of scrimmage with a violent edge. He shows the ability to flow to the football, set a strong edge, and finish tackles with a physical, competitive style that fits well in traditional 4?3 and 3?4 schemes. His ability to play in the box, take on blocks, and still run to the ball gives him appeal as an early?down, three?down defender who can grow into a middle?level leader in the NFL.

Strengths: His biggest strengths are his physicality and ability to attack the football, which make him a reliable early?down run?defender, and his toughness and competitive motor, which allow him to play with a nasty edge against both the run and the pass.

Weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses are his occasionally inconsistent coverage technique, which can make it harder for him to match up confidently in space against athletic tight ends and receivers, and his need for better gap discipline, as he can overrun plays and create cutback lanes when he over?pursues.
