Big Cat Country on Chris Rodriguez
From the article
The Jags signed former Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million contract with $6.2 million guaranteed... he ran 112 times for 500 yards and five touchdowns. His 23 forced missed tackles and four runs of 15 or more yards speak to the two-headed profile of surprising speed and unsurprising power for a 6'0", 224-pound back.
STACKED’s take
Rodriguez's Coen connection and 2025 tape suggest hidden gem upside in Jaguars backfield.
Underrated free agent signing by Jacksonville to a two-year, $10 million contract with $6.2 million guaranteed. Rodriguez has direct ties to head coach Liam Coen from their 2021 Kentucky days, when Rodriguez ran 224 times for 1,377 yards and nine touchdowns with 56 forced missed tackles and 18 runs of 15+ yards. In 2025 with Washington in a shared backfield, he ran 112 times for 500 yards and five touchdowns, adding 23 forced missed tackles and four runs of 15+ yards, showcasing a profile of surprising speed and power at 6'0", 224 pounds. GM James Gladstone emphasized Rodriguez's physicality at the point of attack, pace approaching the line, and intimate understanding of Coen's system. Coen's familiarity with Rodriguez's tape could lead to increasing opportunities in Jacksonville's run game.
