00:00We got one.
00:02He doesn't play like a rookie, right?
00:04I was just going to say for a rookie to be able to peanut punch,
00:08worry about turnovers, not just getting the guy on the ground.
00:10It's not too big for him.
00:12You're not playing the division rival Patriots.
00:15You're going out there playing football.
00:16We really, Jacob Rodriguez, like I said, I had a problem
00:20with everybody calling him the next Zach Thomas.
00:22I still don't want that to be said,
00:24but we have a 10-year Miami Dolphin linebacker if they keep him around.
00:29Now, he can play football, boy.
00:31What number pick was he?
00:35Second round.
00:36Second round pick for the Miami Dolphins.
00:41It was pick number 43.
00:43I mean, how often in the NFL do you have a number 43 overall pick,
00:50like a second round pick where you can say seven games
00:53into his rookie season, that guy is for sure an NFL-caliber starter.
01:00Not many.
01:02Doesn't happen often, right?
01:03I mean, I really have to go back and look,
01:05but I feel like that doesn't happen very often.
01:07First of all, a lot of times you're not starting.
01:09I mean, the Dolphins are starting a lot of rookies.
01:12So just by happenstance, you get to find out.
01:16But how many times do you do, I mean, literally through seven games
01:20where you go, that guy is an NFL-caliber starter
01:24seven games into his career, and he's a second-round pick?
01:27There are some teams, and hell, but the Dolphins couldn't.
01:30They couldn't take a linebacker at whatever, 11,
01:32when they took Proctor.
01:33But, yeah, there's a lot of teams that are probably kicking themselves
01:36in the butt right now saying,
01:37how the hell do we let Jacob Rodriguez drop to 43?
01:41You're right.
01:42You know what?
01:42If you redid the draft now after having played seven games in the NFL,
01:46he's a first-round pick, like slam-dunk first-round pick.
