Could Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. be a 'valuable contributor' at the NFL level?
The Washington Commanders have had plenty of roster turnover from last season to the upcoming season. That's just a part of a franchise reset the Commanders are looking for, with changes coming at every level of the organization.
With preseason underway and the regular season on the horizon, players out of the rotation have been able to make names for themselves and shine while they might not get much opportunity during the regular season.One player, in particular, who could fight their way to *some* snaps is running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. The running back is backing up Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr., so there's no easy path to snaps, but he's proven he can be a contributor.
The former Kentucky standout spent his rookie season with Washington, where he saw 51 attempts for 247 yards while scoring two touchdowns along the way. With a strong frame, as Trapasso alluded to, Rodriguez could be a solid option during third-and-short scenarios, or as a solid backup should either two of the aforementioned running backs deal with any sort of injuries.
For the Commanders, the more contributors the merrier, as the offense could be due for a drastic turnaround after years of mediocrity. Reigning Heisman winner Jayden Daniels out of LSU was the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, and the revamped Commanders offense should help turn the franchise around for the better.
