Season so far
It is still very early in the season for Malcolm Rodriguez, who has logged just 26 graded snaps across a single appearance, earning a 68.3 replacement-level mark. His initial outing was driven primarily by an active presence against the run, highlighted by an explosive downhill trigger that produced a tackle for loss on Breece Hall. He also provided valuable support on special teams, executing key wedge blocks on multiple explosive kickoff returns. However, his overall grade was held back by clear miscues in pass coverage and eye discipline against play-action. Rodriguez was caught biting on a bootleg fake for a 16-yard gain and arrived late on a four-yard touchdown reception, illustrating areas that require refinement moving forward.
