Chris Rodriguez's All-Body Power Surge Ramps Up in Jag Pros Bowl Bet - Watch This Epic Rush!
When meeting with reporters, free agent RB Chris Rodriguez explained one reason why he signed with the Jaguars.
The lone outside free agent signing made by the Jacksonville Jaguars at this point is the addition of running back Chris Rodriguez. The decision to come to Jacksonville seemed to be an easy one for Rodriguez, in part due to his familiarity with head coach Liam Coen. “As far as to why Jacksonville, I feel like it's an opportunity," Rodriguez said on Friday.
... "I feel like it was going to be the best opportunity for me. I know Liam and he knows me.
I know the type of standard he expects and I feel like we can get that done. ” Rodriguez spent five seasons at Kentucky, and by far his most productive college season during his tenure came in 2021, when Coen was the offensive coordinator. “When Liam got to Kentucky, he had to be one of my favorite coaches up until that point… He knows who you are, he knows your best self, and once you show it to him, he expects nothing less.
