Rodriguez and Coen have familiarity dating back to a season together at Kentucky when C-Rod had 1,440 total yards and 12 total touchdowns. Coen describes him as a very physical runner... Rodriguez's +0.11 EPA per carry on carries with 5-or-fewer yards to go easily beats out what the Jaguars had between Etienne (-0.10) and Tuten (+0.03) last year.

Rodriguez's elite short-yardage EPA and Coen familiarity position him for goal-line work.

Rodriguez and head coach Liam Coen have familiarity from a season together at Kentucky when C-Rod had 1,440 total yards and 12 total touchdowns. Coen describes him as a very physical runner. Rodriguez's +0.11 EPA per carry on carries with 5-or-fewer yards to go easily beats out what the Jaguars had between Etienne (-0.10) and Tuten (+0.03) last year. A similar split held true on all red zone carries (+0.20 EPA per carry vs. +0.06 and -0.01), suggesting Rodriguez could earn significant short-yardage and goal-line work in a wide-open backfield race.
