Chris Rodriguez selected by Washington Commanders in 6th round of the 2023 NFL Draft

One of the greatest to ever wear a Kentucky blue has found a new uniform to wear on Sundays. With the No. 193 pick in the 6th round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select Chris Rodriguez, running back from Kentucky.

Running backs do not carry a coveted status in the NFL Draft. Yes, a couple were taken win the first round, but you can find good ones anywhere. Isiah Pacheco started in the Super Bowl a year after he was selected in the seventh round by the Kansas City Chiefs.
