A sad day losing Sutton and now Rodney. I do understand Rodney’s position.
Thank you to these 2 young men for their time and sacrifices to OUr program. It’s always sad to have to say goodbye but leaving leaving on season-ending injures has to really suck. Hope they remain a part of OUr family for years to come, as they will always have that #OUDNA. Good luck at the next level or wherever life takes them.
Rodney is one of biggest "what might have been" players in OU history. Damn injuries. Good luck young man.
Rodney is a great Running Back ....hope he is draft highly...and has a long injury free NFL career....
If he comes back like he was, he’s a can’t miss back in the NFL.
He will bounce back he’s a freak of nature... remember the pool video played everywhere? Ou just breeds monsters... look at AD right now. I wish Anderson the absolute best and will root for him on Sundays.
I could see him going undrafted, but being picked up and being in contentions for rookie of the year next year. Hope I'm wrong and he gets drafted early. Should be a strong draft for the sooners I can see about 6-8 guys being drafted.
His future will be decided upon getting the injured knee built up to account for the removed ACL. Running back knees are under immense strains whether from cuts made to avoid tackling or getting tackled in the pile. NFL is not too forgiving. I wish Rodney all the best in his rehab. He has the fire to rise above it, as he has proven twice before. I tore my ACL and my ortho doc was the team surgeon for the STL Blues hockey team. He said the focus from day 1 after knee surgery was to build up the surrounding muscle and keep the knee flexible.
Regardless of what happens in the future, I will remember him as one of the Sooners’ best. Last year, he may have been the best back on college. Good Luck, Rodney.
With that in mind, he's right up there with Mike Gaddis and Marcus DuPree.
Still, I wish Rodney all the best where ever his path may lead.
