Malcolm Rodriguez Rankings

Overall (Average Ranking:  154):



CBS Chris Trapaisso (113. Malcolm Rodriguez:  Rodriguez doesn't have insane suddenness or overall speed. He defeats blocks like a champ and is very comfortable in coverage. His instincts are fantastic reading his keys against the run too.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-draft-final-top-300-big-board-malik-willis-as-qb1-skyy-moore-cracks-top-20-plenty-of-edge-rushers/

CBS (140. Malcolm Rodriguez - Rating: 76.36 (Chance to start).  Pro Comparison: Pat Angerer.  Strengths:  Busted out a 4.52 40 at the combine to go along with a 39.5 vertical, and those eye-popping numbers for an off-ball linebacker showed up consistently on tape. Three-time wrestling champ in high school who moved from safety to linebacker before college. Had three sacks in each of the last two seasons, is a wrap-up tackler who is quick to fight off blocks and fill gaps. Nose for the ball, usually being at the right place at the right time, who also flashes sideline-to-sideline speed. Does everything well and will be, at worse, a solid NFL starter.   Weaknesses:  Can be a little stiff with his change of direction when trying to cover running backs out of the backfield, but it's not a glaring weakness. Just a note that while he's incredibly athletic for the position, he doesn't possess elite coverage skills.  Accolades:  2021: Sixth in FBS with 129 tackles, 2021: AP All-America second team (first Oklahoma State LB to become All-American since 1981)):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-draft-final-prospect-rankings-aidan-hutchinson-finishes-no-1-overall-four-ol-in-the-top-10/

Draft Network Crabbs (199. Malcolm Rodriguez - Malcolm Rodriguez is a redshirt senior linebacker from the state of Oklahoma. Rodriguez is a four-year starter and has started over forty games throughout his career. In his time at Oklahoma State Rodriguez has received many awards for his play on the field, like 2019, 2020 second team all Big 12, 2021 Butkus award semifinalist, 2021 First Team All-American and also being named team captain by his peers for the 2021 season. Rodriguez is a versatile backer that can align in both the true inside linebacker position and can play as a nickel linebacker having to align over slot receivers.  Rodriguez thrives as a chase and pursuit backer where he can use his speed to run sideline to sideline to make the tackle. In pass coverage Rodriguez also showed the instincts to play pass routes and be  a disruptive second level defender in pass coverage. On the next level Rodriguez should see playing time early on third situations and work to eventually carve out a role for himself as a three down player.   Ideal Role: Third down sub nickel linebacker.  Scheme Fit: 4-3 scheme):  https://thedraftnetwork.com/big-board/nfl-draft-2022-top-prospects-tdn/?current-page=10

Walter football ILB Rankings (20. ILB Malcolm Rodriguez - 4/27/22: Rodriguez was very good for the Cowboys in 2021, but he has size limitations for the NFL. In 2021, he had 129 tackles, four forced fumbles, three sacks and two passes defended.  7/17/21: Rodriguez has been a consistent run stopper for the Cowboys over the past three seasons. He broke out with 83 tackles in 2018, improved his total to 103, and made 82 stops in the shortened 2020 season. Rodriguez recorded three passes broken up and an interception in both 2019 and 2020. He could boost his draft stock by improving his pass coverage and production.):  https://walterfootball.com/draft2022ILB.php
