Matt Waldman on Amari Rodgers

VideoWith/Against Consensus & RBs/WRs Adding Mass: Going Deep with Brandon Angelo &...April 9, 2026

From the video

Let's say you add pounds to, you know, one of one of your favorite players in this in this draft cycle, Amari Rodgers. It's not going to work. Right. Because of how reactive he is as a mover and how he change everything from lateral to linear.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Mass addition would undermine Rodgers' reactive lateral-to-linear movement skills.

Brandon Angelo cautions against adding mass to Amari Rodgers because of his reactive movement profile. Rodgers' lateral agility and ability to change direction from lateral to linear are core to his game; adding weight would slow him down and undermine those critical skills, making mass addition counterproductive for his archetype.
