steady, physical Oregon linebacker who earned respect for toughness and reliability
In the 2015 season, Rodney Hardrick was Oregon’s third-leading tackler with 81 stops and also won team honors for teammate value and playing through physical adversity, which tells you he was more than just a stat line[2][9]. He had already shown a consistent, run-stuffing profile in 2014 with 75 tackles and six quarterback hurries, and earlier coverage described him as a linebacker who was around the ball constantly and had grown noticeably with experience[5][11]. If you want a disciplined, physical, high-effort linebacker who brings toughness and credibility in the room, Hardrick fits the bill.
