Isaiah Rodgers Sr. (born January 7, 1998) is an American football cornerback and kick returner for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at UMass.
College career
Rodgers was named to Pro Football Focus' First-team All-American Team as a senior cornerback that could be moved to deep safety in special packages. In that season Rodgers returned 53 kickoffs for 1,295 yards. On defense, he made 42 total tackles, four interceptions including one returned for a touchdown, ten passes defended and one forced fumble and fumble recovery. During his college career, Rodgers compiled 125 total tackles (9.5 for a loss) with 11 interceptions including three returned for a touchdown, and four fumble recoveries and forced fumbles. On special teams, he posted 99 total kickoff returns for 2,338 yards (23.6 average), in addition to 21 punt returns for 156 yards (7.4 average) and one touchdown.[2] Rodgers held his own Pro Day after his senior season showcasing his defensive diversity at safety and defensive back; he ran a 4.28–second 40-yard dash.[3]
Professional career
Indianapolis Colts
Rodgers Sr. was selected by the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL) with the 211th pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft in a pick acquired in a trade with the New York Jets in exchange for Quincy Wilson.[2] Rodgers scored his first career touchdown on a 101-yard kick return in a Week 5 loss to the Cleveland Browns.[4]
On December 28, 2022, the Colts placed Rodgers on season–ending injured reserve with a knee injury he suffered in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He finished the year with 34 tackles, three pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.[5]
In June 2023, Rodgers was probed by the NFL for violations of the league's gambling policy. He was accused of opening a sportsbook account under the name of a personal associate and making roughly one hundred bets, including bets on his own team.[6] On June 28, 2023, ESPN reported that Rodgers, among several other NFL players, would be suspended for the entirety of the 2023 NFL season for violating the league's policy on gambling.[7] Shortly after the suspension was announced, Rodgers was waived by the Colts along with teammate Rashod Berry.[8]
Philadelphia Eagles
On August 28, 2023, Rodgers was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles.[9]
