Rodriguez is an H-back type who showed natural hands and a good feel for the deep seams. He knows how to find open spots in zone coverages and can separate from man-to-man coverage, and he did a good job opening his hips to snag a ball thrown behind him. He also looked smooth when transitioning upfield after catches. And while he's not an overpowering blocker, Rodriguez competes well, has some toughness and thickness in the lower half, and works hard to cover up defenders. He also has the versatility to play some fullback, and some intriguing film combined with his showing during Shrine week has helped him get into the mid to late rounds.
