Picked in the 6th Round by the Colts! Congratulations and well deserved!
Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Great for Isaiah and his family; also good for the UMass football program!
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.
Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Outstanding. Isaiah's hard work and commitment paid off. Also, Jack Driscoll went to the Eagles in the fourth round.

Hope he is a big success in the NFL!

Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Huge news for Isaiah, really pumped when I saw him get selected! Well deserved!
Also huge for the program. If we can get 1 guy drafted a year, that is enough to showcase that players at UMass can in fact make the NFL and get drafted, consistency is key. And it's not easy getting drafted of course. I mean hey, here's a great example: no one on the Rutgers squad got drafted this year, but UMass did.

Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Hoping he sticks. I think he has NFL level coverage skills.
Re: Isaiah Rodgers
I'm thinking at the very least he'll earn a roster spot on special teams, and then be able to work his way into the defensive backfield. Can't forget about how good of a returner he is as well.
Re: Isaiah Rodgers
^ I have to imagine he's in the drivers seat for return duty from the jump.
Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Kid's a burner. Make a great downfield receiver & returner. Serious speed

Re: Isaiah Rodgers
He was just cited in the Baltimore Sun as Colt's biggest sleeper pick. They picked 1 per NFL team.

UMass cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (Round 6, No. 211)
Rodgers, the cousin of former NFL cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, might not make an immediate impact at corner, but he probably will on special teams. He reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds, just .01 of a second behind top combine performer Henry Ruggs III, and averaged 23.6 yards per kick return and 7.4 yards per punt return at UMass.

@UMassFootball is posting a countdown of Isaiah's Top Ten Plays, doing two per day. Good fun.

40 yard return for #34 with a hurdle along the way!

Re: Isaiah Rodgers
Cant believe the Colts went for it on 4th and goal, then got stuffed. Kick the fg and take the 3 pts

Re: Isaiah Rodgers
And now he has had two interceptions nullified - one on an offside call on a lineman and one where a review said he didn't maintain possession. He's getting time because of injuries.
UMass mentioned.
