Before bidding the BBN farewell on his way to the NFL, Chris Rodriguez is taking his talents across the state of Kentucky.

The record-breaking Kentucky running back will spend this upcoming weekend at three different stops around the Bluegrass State. It all starts Friday night in Lexington, followed by a pair of pitstops down I-75 in London and Somerset. All three meet-and-greets will be at Don Franklin dealerships. The details:

Chris Rodriguez recently wrapped up his five-year career with 3,643 rushing yards, the third-most ever by a Kentucky Wildcat. He was only 230 yards away from catching Sonny Collins and Benny Snell atop the school’s all-time rushing list.

He did surpass one of Benny Snell’s records. C-Rod rushed for 120 yards on Senior Day against Louisville, the 20th 100-yard rushing game of his career, a new school record. He ranks second among all Wildcats with 33 rushing touchdowns and fourth in yards per carry with 6.2 yards per touch throughout his career. In 2020 he did not get tackled for a loss until the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. The following year he rushed for at least 100 yards nine times.

Chris Rodriguez is currently ranked as the No. 132 overall NFL Draft prospect by ESPN. Depending on how he performs in pre-Draft evaluations, he’ll likely be a day three selection.

Chris Rodriguez is one of the best to ever wear a Kentucky football uniform. See him before he plays on Sundays and thank him for his years of service in Lexington.
