Introduction

Kumar is the son of Tracy Rocker, a former football player and current defensive line coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Anyone who has glimpsed Kumar in action can immediately see he has his father’s genes. Back in 2018, Kumar Rocker was considered by many to be one of the two best prep arms in the entire draft, the other being Carter Stewart.
