Miami Dolphins fans will be particularly fond of linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, a second-round pick from Texas Tech, who was drafted by the Dolphins. The highlight of Rodriguez is his thick, bushy mustache, which he uses as a rallying point and a source of pride. His playmaking ability and physicality are also highlighted by his physicality and tough playmaking capabilities. The Dolphins assistant general manager, Kyle Smith, praised Rodriguez for his commitment to the position and commitment to competition. Rodriguez, who hails from Wichita Falls, Texas, finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting last season with 128 tackles, seven forced fumbles, 11 tackles, 11 TFLs (tackles for loss), four interceptions and 6 PBUs. His wife, Emma, is an Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas.
