Isaiah Rodgers is apparently the cousin of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Isaiah Rodgers had an ex-NFL scout track his Pro Day, and he timed him at 4.28 in the 40.

Rodgers says one of the coverages he's played most in college is Cover 3. That's something the Colts play often.

. . . . Northeast area scout Mike Derice . . . . scouted Isaiah Rodgers. Says he didn't meet all the size requirements the Colts usually adhere to, but he's such a good scheme fit, they picked him anyway.

Isaiah Rodgers says the Colts told him his initial role is going to be as a member of the nickel package and as a potential gunner on special teams. Also looking to help in the return game.

Apparently the kid ran a 4.28-40. That is absurd!

If he has some hands and instinct he could be an absolute nightmare in zone.

In otherwords, the shit that can't be taught :D
