The Washington Commanders and head coach Ron Rivera will welcome another former Kentucky football player into their team facility. Two years after spending a first-round pick on linebacker Jamin Davis, the NFC East franchise spent on sixth-round pick on UK’s star tailback.
At No. 193 overall, Chris Rodriguez Jr. heard his name called by the Washington Commanders on Saturday afternoon in Kansas City.

The former All-SEC tailback will be joining an organization going through an ownership sale and possibly a potential coaching change if things don’t go well in 2023.
