Jeremy Rodriguez is a downhill, physical linebacker with proven tackling pop
Jeremy Rodriguez brings a compact, physical linebacker profile built on tackle production, short-area quickness, and a reputation for being a tone-setter in the middle of the defense. The most reliable stat line available shows 42 tackles in the 2012 season at Monmouth, including 3.0 tackles for loss, after earlier seasons with Villanova where he posted 21 tackles in 2008, 13 in 2010, and 16 in 2011. That kind of steady production, plus a reported 4.65-second 40 and strong shuttle/broad-jump testing, points to an instinctive, rangy defender who can fit well in a team that wants a tough, active, assignment-sound LB.
